Subject: Please help- raid1 recovery after disk failure
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 15:56:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041018225652.GC29864@sam.triumf.ca> (raw)


Dear Linux raiders- I ran into a problem with raid1 recovery after
a disk failure (running Fedora2, kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp).

1) I had a raid1 filesystem mirrored across /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdc2.
2) Disk hda died (unreadable sectors, fails SMART tests)
3) A new blank hda was installed and partitionned exactly like hdc.
4) I cannot restart and rebuild the raid1 volume because hdc2 is
   in a funny "spare" state (see below)

How do I mark hdc2 as "active"?
Once "active", I assume then I will be able to restart md0,
hot-add /dev/hda2 as usual. (And the mirror will resync and rebuild itself?
Hopefully?)

[root@tw04 root]# mdadm -E /dev/hdc2
