Hello guys,

I have been using md raids for quite a long time now and it always
worked fine, until recently when I upgraded some hardware on my
workstation. 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. Content of /proc/mdstat is:
-----------------
md126 : inactive sdb6[0] sda6[1]
      496151168 blocks
-----------------


If I try to examine both disks with mdadm -E it shows some checksum
mismatch for both partitions:
-----------------

Any idea how I could try to save my raid group?

Thanks in advance for your help.
