Looks like data corruption



I have seen this before - I have used mdadm to remove sda from the RAID 
mirror, fdisk to remove the partitions from sda (clean the drive)

Then I run mdchk again to have sda reformatted and added back to the mirror 
once more.

Alternatively, power down, take sda out and fdisk it on another system 
(using a boot floppy) and then shove it back into the server and turn it on.


This was a common problem on the Cobalt Raq550 servers.

Regards

Paul
