Unfortunately the hardware I changed proved itself to be very unstable, and I encountered a lot of hard lockups of the system while running. Those lockups recently made one of my raid 1 array fails with the infamous error message "mdXX: bitmap superblock UUID mismatch". Here is what I have found in the kernel logs when I try to activate the given raid group: ----------------- md/raid1:md126: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md126: bitmap superblock UUID mismatch md126: bitmap file superblock: magic: 6d746962 version: 4 uuid: 37102258.af9c1930.b8397fb8.eba356af events: 199168 events cleared: 199166 state: 00000000 chunksize: 524288 B daemon sleep: 5s sync size: 248075584 KB max write behind: 0 md126: failed to create bitmap (-22) ----------------- Such error messages are displayed each time I try to run the raid group.

I suggest that you find some hardware that you can trust, mount one of the two devices ( (sdb6 or sda6) ignoring the raid stuff, and copy data off to the device that you trust. Then start again.

My point regarding bitmap reconstruction was because this raid was used in a LVM setup. the LVM partition used two distinct raid 1 disks, and I was not able to start the LVM correctly without this failing raid. In the end, I was able to save my LVM by simply skipping the raid 1 and using directly one partition. The LVM tool was clever enough to detect the MD bits and proposed me to remove them in order to mount directly the partition, and it worked fine. Thus I was able to save my data. Thanks for your answer though.
