Subject: Re: Help with failed RAID-5 -> 6 migration
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:42:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CDDC92D8.471B8%michael.vanhorn@wright.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <51B6FF7E.1000707@turmel.org>


Using Keith Phillips' reported output from /proc/mdstat and mdadm
--detail, I have a question:

/proc/mdstat says that the array is "inactive":

>>---------------------------
>> Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5]
>> [raid4] [raid10]
>> md0 : inactive sde[4] sdc[1] sdb[0] sdd[3]
>>       7814054240 blocks super 1.2
>> 
>> unused devices: <none>
>> ---------------------------

But mdadm --detail says

>>           State : active, degraded, Not Started

and goes on to show that the array is rebuilding using the spare. So, how
can it be both "inactive" and "active", and be rebuilding but "Not
Started"? 

I think this is just my un-clarity concerning what these terms mean.

Thanks!
