Can you elaborate on what the location of mdadm > metadata has to do with whether one puts the operating system on a > RAID-1 device or not? I initially parsed this question as asking whether the metadata is supposed to be stored on something other than the disk(s) involved in the RAID-1. Reading it again, it might be a reaction to the final sentence about "force mdadm to import it"; in order to be able to do that, you need to have the system booted to a running OS, and in order for that to happen the OS can't be on the RAID that you're trying to import. Which would then require at least three disks, two for the RAID-1 (of which you're only using one, when importing) and one for the OS of the system you're running when performing the import. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
