CentOS Community,
I have a dedicated server with 4 hard drives in a RAID 10 software configuration running LVM. My OS is CentOS 6.2. Earlier today, I rebooted my system and my system did not come back online. I opened a ticket with my datacenter who informed me that one of my hard drives is no longer recognized by the bios and has failed. I was told that an OS reinstall was needed.
how was your disks partitions? and how was the lvm setup? was /boot made of a mdadm raid1 array?
there is a dracut issue on raid1 array (fixed by now, if you updated to the latest dracut release and rebuild your initramfs): http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5400
Btw the anaconda installer does install grub on the MBR of both raid1 members. No idea if it does so for lvm over raid10 array.
