Hi again,
well today I repeated the test pulling out the disk and waiting a
longer time - with
no success. I did a raidhotremove on the failed partitions and then
added them back
with raidhotadd, a cat of /proc/mdstat revealed a quickly increasing
finish time to
recovery of the mirror
md3 : active raid1 sdb8[2] sda8[0] 6707008 blocks [2/1] [U_] recovery=0%
finish=119606.5min (and rising)
at this stage I tried to unmount the partition (/home) and this hung -
not good.
Luckily I have the magic sysreq installed so I was able to sync, unmount
and reboot cleanly.
Any idea what could be happening?
