Dear All,
I have an 8-drive raid-5 array running under 2.6.11. This morning it
bombed out, and when I brought
it up again, two drives had incorrect event counts:
sda1: 0.8258715
sdb1: 0.8258715
sdc1: 0.8258715
sdd1: 0.8258715
sde1: 0.8258715
sdf1: 0.8258715
sdg1: 0.8258708
sdh1: 0.8258716
sdg1 is out of date (expected), but sdh1 has received an extra event.
Any attempt to restart with mdadm --assemble --force, results in an an
un-startable array with an event count of 0.8258715.
Can anybody advise on the correct command to use to get it started again?
I'm assuming I'll need to use mdadm --create --assume-clean - but I'm
not sure
which drives should be included/excluded when I do this.
A difference of 1 in event counts is not supposed to cause a problem.
Have you tried simply assembling the array without including sdg1.
e.g.
mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sd[abcdefh]1
# mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sd[abcdefh]1
mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 7 drives - need all 8 to start it (use
--run to insist)
# mdadm -D /dev/md0
mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active.
mdadm --run /dev/md0
mdadm: failed to run array /dev/md0: invalid argument
I've attached the syslog, the dump for the assembled array, the dump for
each drive
and the contents of /proc/mdstat. Using --force makes no difference.
