How to remove Linux software RAID MD device?
Solution 1:
Well, this is how I solved my problem. I found some steps how to remove MD device.
- In the openSUSE 12.3 installer, switch to the console.
- List your devices:
# df -kh - Make sure the devices are unmounted:
# umount /dev/md124 - Check the details:
# mdadm --detail /dev/md124 - Stop the device:
# mdadm -S /dev/md124 - Zero out the superblocks of physical devices that belong to the MD device:
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb1 - Switch back to the installer.
- In the partitioning part of installer, refresh devices.
- The MD devices should not be there now.
