Subject: Problem with missing drive
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2004 20:50:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <003301c4953d$e6af7a60$0600a8c0@poseiden> (raw)
I have a RAID5 array with 5 160 GB WD drives, 3 data, 1 parity, 1 spare.
RAID
Personalities : [raid5]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid5 hde1[0] hdg1[1] hdi1[2] hdk1[3] hdl1[5]
468864768 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
Mdadm reports a missing drive which does not exist but I suspect is recorded
on the superblocks of one or more of the drives. I'd like some advice on
clearing this up and getting rid of the "dirty" flag.
