Hi, After i get this on one of my disk node, imediately send this letter, and go to the hosting company, to see, is any message on the screen. But unfortunately nothing what i found. simple freeze. no message, no ping, no num lock!
The full message of the node next reboot is here: http://download.netcenter.hu/bughunt/20051209/boot.log Next step, i try to restart the whole system. (the concentrator is hangs too, caused by lost the st-0001 node) The part of the next reboot message of the concentrator is here: http://download.netcenter.hu/bughunt/20051209/dy-boot.log Next step, i stops everything, to awoid more data lost. Try to remove the possible bitmap from the md0 of node-1 (st-0001). The messages is there: http://download.netcenter.hu/bughunt/20051209/mdadm.log At this time i cannot remove the broken bitmap, only deactivating the use of it. But on next reboot, the node will try to use it again. :( I have try to change the array to use an external bitmap, but the mdadm failed to create it too. The external bitmap file is here: (6 MB!) http://download.netcenter.hu/bughunt/20051209/md0.bitmap The error message is the same of internal bitmap creation. I dont know exactly, what caused the fs-damage, but here is my "possible list": (sorted) 1. the mdadm (wrong bitmap size) 2. the kernel (wrong resync on startup) 3. the half written data, caused by first crash. One question: On a working array doing the bitmap creation is safe and race-free? (I mean race between the bitmap-create and bitmap update.) My data lost finally, really minimal. :-) Cheers, Janos ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "JaniD++" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <linux-raid@vger.kernel.org> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 12:43 AM Subject: Re: RAID5 resync question BUGREPORT! > On Friday December 9, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hello, Neil, > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mdadm-2.2]# mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --bitmap=internal > > mdadm: Warning - bitmaps created on this kernel are not portable > > between different architectured.
