Re: [opensuse] Recover md RAID-1.

How do I recover a broken MD RAID-1.... Since there is no way to make
a backup with easy restore? I boot the system and it says:


Boot up a rescue system, and tell us what "cat /proc/mdstat" says.

A broken RAID1 usually means one broken disk, and that the array is
running degraded. It is typically fixed by hot-removing the failed
drive, then hot-adding a new one.
