Title: RAID error on shutdown
Post by: Richard on April 26, 2001, 11:04:17 AM

When I shutdown esmith 4.11, I'm getting a FAILED message regarding the software RAID, with a note about "md1 not unmounted". Can anyone tell me if this is normal behaviour? I've tried the HDDs on the same and different IDE controllers with no change.

Thanks, Richard.

Completely normal, though it may not happen on every shutdown. There are tricky flushing issues with shutting down a RAID system, and the kernel sometimes leaves state information which allows it to complete the flush on the next startup. You will probably see a message to this effect on bootup.
