Hi everyone
I setup a raid system using raictl
Snipp ------
START array
# row, column, spare disks
1 3 1
START disks
/dev/wd1a
/dev/wd2a
/dev/wd3a
START spare
/dev/wd4a
START layout
32 1 1 5
START queue
fifo 100
Snip ------
When it started up for the first time it wrote parity information
which took quite a while.
Everything worked fine I could acces the disk and copy files to the
partition.
Then I had to test the server before putting it into a production
enviroment. So I switched of /dev/wd3a.
The system halted itself when I did that...
I started the system started and gave me the following error:
raid0: Error re-writing parity.
When I run the command: raidctl -s raid0
raid0 Components:
/dev/wd1a: optimal
/dev/wd2a: optimal
/dev/wd3a: failed
Spares:
/dev/wd4a: spare
Parity status: DIRTY
Reconstruction is 100% complete.
Parity Re-write is 100% complete.
Copyback is 100% complete
I have tried running the following command:
raidctl -P raid0
raid0: Parity status: Dirty
raid0: Initiating re-write of parity
raid0: Error re-writing parity!
I'm not sure what is going on here my kernel is standard except for
raidframe support compiled in. I just can't seem to rebuild the array.
Anybody run into this problem before? Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards Julian
