Subject: Mdadm recovery in infinite loop
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:16:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01c7ad15$79d43fa0$0a01a8c0@kyle> (raw)
I have a problem with a software RAID-1 implementation on the Linux 2.6.9
kernel using mdadm. The mdadm version is 1.12.0 and when I use yum with
Centos 4.4, it appears to be updated for this distro. The array in question
showed as being degraded (I think that was the term it used). I have had
this happen before on rare occasions where the drive is not actually bad,
but the software thinks it is. I did some testing on the drive and turns
out it was fine. Therefore, I ran the mdadm command to add the drive back
to the array.
Now, when I look at /proc/mdstat it shows that the array is recovering,
however when it hits 100 percent, it starts all over again. How can I break
out of this loop? I have already rebooted and that didn't help. I can't
remove a drive from the array as it says it is busy. The drives in question
are partitioned as Linux raid autodetect. This particular array is mounted
as /. Someone ask in another group if I was using watch to watch the
/proc/mdstat file and I am not. Any other ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
