Subject: raid5 missing drive at boot question
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 16:28:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dgvb75$hp5$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
I created a new 8 disk raid5 set with no spares. Now, when I boot I end
up with:
md3 : active raid5 sdp1[7] sdo1[6] sdn1[5] sdm1[4] sdl1[3] sdk1[2] sdi1[0]
3418687552 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/7] [U_UUUUUU]
which I believe is a "degraded" array. I then have to do:
mdadm -M -a /dev/md3 /dev/sdj1
to add in the missing disk. I had to do this after it was created as well.
Why does this happen? What am I not understanding?
