drive went missing but came back on reboot, how to rebuild missing boot partition?

mn flag

I checked my server and found one drive to be missing:

root@tiefenkaese ~ # lsblk

After a reboot both drives were available again, but the boot partition was missing on the first drive:

How do I rebuild the RAID for the boot partition?

mn flag

I found it out, it was really easy:

mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/nvme0n1p2

Simply add md1 to the partition that somehow failed.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
