From mdadm man:

--examine applies to devices which are components
of an array, while --detail applies to a whole array which is currently active.
So you can --examine /dev/sdf4, for instance, not /dev/md2. And you can --detail /dev/md2, not /dev/sdf4. Smilie

Also, the system can't seem to find the volume -
vgscan -v
Wait. We were speaking about a raid volume. This is for LVM(2) volumes: completely different things.

Quote:
Code:
mount -t auto dev/md2 /mnt/raid
mount: special device dev/md2 does not exist

Do you run it from the root directory? Otherwise dev/md2 is not /dev/md2.

VGSCAN(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 VGSCAN(8)

NAME
vgscan - scan all disks for volume groups and build /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab.d/* which are the database for all other lvm commands. SYNOPSIS
vgscan [-d|--debug] [-f|--forcenumbers] [-h|--help] [-r|--remove_snapshots [VolumeGroupName]] [-v|--verbose] DESCRIPTION
vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch of other disk devives in the system for volume groups defined. OPTIONS -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -f, --forcenumbers If used volume group and/or logical volume minor numbers are found during scan, replace them. This will potentially cause problems for NFS exported filesystems on logical volumes with changed numbers. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -r, --remove_snapshots [VolumeGroupName] Remove all snapshot logical volumes from all or just the named volume group. -v, --verbose Display verbose information of vgscan's activities. Hint Put vgscan in one of your system startup scripts. This gives you an actual logical volume manager database before activating all volume groups by doing a "vgchange -ay". DIAGNOSTICS
vgscan returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error: 1 error reading physical volumes 2 error inserting vokume group name into lvmtab 3 no volume group(s) found 4 error creating lvmtab 5 no or not enough free device specials to store volume group in lvmtab 6 error storing VGDA on disk(s) 7 reused LV device number 8 error releasing snapshot logical volume 95 driver/module not in kernel 96 invalid I/O protocol version 97 error locking logical volume manager 99 invalid command line See also lvm(8), vgcreate(8), vgchange(8) AUTHOR
