Subject: mdadm --grow with --backup-file does not create backupfile?
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 20:26:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <543B2A2D.9080407@gmail.com> (raw)
I added a new disk and grew my raid6 md0 with the following command line
sudo mdadm --grow --raid-devices=5
--backup-file=/root/grow_md0.bkp_file --layout=normalise /dev/md0
I got a response that stated that mdadm needed to backup 384K of data.
However, when I checked after about 5min there was no backup file. Is
this expected?
386 > sudo ls /root
<no files. so no output>
387 > sudo ls /root/grow_md0.bkp_file
ls: cannot access /root/grow_md0.bkp_file: No such file or directory
