Subject: Raid 5 Problem
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 08:41:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49450D04.8060703@nigelterry.net> (raw)
Hi. I hope someone can tell me what I have done wrong. I have a 4 disk
Raid 5 array running on Fedora9. I've run this array for 2.5 years with
no issues. I recently rebooted after upgrading to Kernel 2.6.27.7.
When I did this I found that only 3 of my disks were in the array. When
I examine the three active elements of the array (/dev/sdd1, /dev/sde1,
/dev/sdc1) they all show that the array has 3 drives and one missing.
When I examine the missing drive it shows that all members of the array
are present, which I don't understand! When I try to add the missing
drive back is says the device is busy. Please see below and let me know
what I need to do to get this working again. Thanks Nigel:
