RN102 fails to boot when one mirrored drive fails or is missing
Hello everyboby, I have been looking for a solution or help but was not able to find any hints regarding the following problem. I own a RN102 device equiped with two disk forming a X-RAID mirror...
Well, it's still unclear to me what the root cause was. Somehow the RAID superblock that gets generated for the newly-added disk kept getting rejected because the kernel thought it was invalid. However, I don't know which part it thought was invalid, and there's no easy way to remotely debug at that low level.
Anyway, I got your box fixed up by restoring a good superblock made on another machine to your disk, and it's resyncing now and looks normal. I also made sure that volume repair worked after simulating a failure, so I don't think you'll run into this again. If you do, please let me know.
Somehow your disk 1 does not have a root partition. It's not clear how this situation developed, but our current software does not automatically repair this situation. That will be added in 6.9.0.
So there are two options for you. You can update to 6.9.0 Beta 2 (most likely available later today) which should fix it up automatically, or you can enable remote access for one of us and we can manually fix it up for you.
