Just wanted to second this approach. Wish I would have seen your original post, went through this exact same thing on a 7506-4LP. Rebuild went when fsck was followed by filling up the disk.

I hate it when people do that to me. :) My original post is here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-November/064038.ht ml The summary is simply this: when rebuilding a mirror on a 3ware 7000-2, the rebuild would crap out with a vague disk error message. Doing a dump on the volume uncovered a couple of read errors. Solution: The read errors were killing the rebuild process. The hard disk's built-in SMART error correction was not kicking in though, because it only corrects bad sectors on a write. I tried to fix the disk with fsck, but the damage was too low-level, I guess... Anyway, I deleted the files with read errors--luckily they were trivial--and then copied a load of files to the partition to fill up the empty space. This triggered a SMART sector repair--I verified that with a SMART checker from ports. Once the bad sectors were remapped, I was able to rebuild my array. Hope this helps someone! -- ***** I am Matt Staroscik and I approved this message. ****** [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://wrongcrowd.com * 4 8 15 16 23 42 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
