Subject: messed up changing chunk size
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:32:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C439D19.4070906@gmail.com> (raw)

  I've been playing around with RAID config and may have finally messed 
it up.

Initially, I created the array with 3 300G drives:
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda4 
/dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
# mkfs.ext4 -v -m 0.01 -E stride=16,stripe-width=32 /dev/md0

It's been working nicely so far, and I decided to add a 4th 300G drive:
# mdadm --grow --raid-devices=4 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0.bak /dev/md0

That finished overnight, while I looked around and found that chunk size 
of 512 should work better. I unmounted the FS and ran
# mdadm --grow -c 512 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_rechunk.bak /dev/md0
mdadm: component size 293033536K is not a multiple of chunksize 512K

so I sized it down a bit:
# mdadm --grow -z 293033472 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_size.bak /dev/md0

and then back to resizing chunks:
mdadm --grow -c 512 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_rechunk.bak /dev/md0

It's running right now:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdd1[3] sda4[0] sdc1[2] sdb1[1]
       293033472 blocks super 0.91 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] 
[UUUU]
       [====>................]  reshape = 22.7% (66540032/293033472) 
finish=947.3min speed=3984K/sec


But just now I tried to mount the filesystem and it's failing:
EXT4-fs (md0): bad geometry: block count 146516768 exceeds size of 
device (73258368 blocks)

Here's the question, then: am I royally screwed or is my data still 
there? How do I recover?



Yes, in retrospect I should've probably checked around whether this 
process has been successful for others.. but that's why they say 
hindsight is 20/20
