Subject: 4x3TB raid5 - no autodetect
Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:55:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <441614417.20121022155507@oudeis.org> (raw)

I'm trying to create a RAID5 consisting of 4 3TB drives from scratch:

drives are western digital caviar green:

ata6: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata6.00: ATA-8: WDC WD30EZRX-00MMMB0, 80.00A80, max UDMA/133
ata6.00: 5860533168 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133

- GPT partitions created with gdisk, type=FD00 (all 4 drives)
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.6.10

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 5860533168 sectors, 2.7 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 6AA3BE6A-D2F1-4124-91C2-F6A940893912
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 5860533134
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048      5860533134   2.7 TiB     FD00  Linux RAID

- raid created using:
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --metadata=1.2 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
before that the raid was created without "--metadata=1.2", also didn't
work.

- on boot, dmesg says:
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: invalid raid superblock magic on sdb1
md: sdb1 has invalid sb, not importing!
md: invalid raid superblock magic on sdc1
md: sdc1 has invalid sb, not importing!

md: sdd1 has invalid sb, not importing!
md: invalid raid superblock magic on sde1
md: sde1 has invalid sb, not importing!
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.

manually starting the array works:
