[Paul Menzel]

Subject: grub-common: no such disk after un- and replugging disk belonging to RAID1 array
Package: grub-common
Version: 1.96+20080724-10
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear DDs,


wanting to reinstall something I unplugged one of the two disks in the
RAID1 array as a backup. Anyway I just accessed (cryptsetup luksOpen the
md1 “partition”)  the still connected disk and did not write anything
onto it.

After that a connected the other disk and got

Welcome to GRUB !

Error: no such disk
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

I could not find anything regarding to grub rescue on the net. ls does
show (md0) (md0) (hd0) (hd1) (hd0,0) and so on.

The strange thing is if I just leave either one of the two drives
connected GRUB is showing up as it used to.


Do you have any idea what caused this and how this can be fixed?


Thanks,

Paul
