I was able to log in and salvage this content of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m4af616df I talked to my hosting-people and they said it was an io-error on /dev/sda, and replaced that drive. After this, I was able to boot into a PXE-image and re-build the two RAID-1 devices with no problems - indicating that sdb was fine. I expected RAID-1 to be able to stomach exactly this kind of error - one drive dying. What did I do wrong? Regards, Martin Seebach
