Hi

Hopefully this will be fairly straight forward. I have a machine that has had hardware added over the course of its existence before I took over. There is an issue with two of the shelves that means that they aren't starting automatically and after digging around I think I know the reason why.

When the raid array was created it would have listed the drives in order /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc however at some point it has jumped and the device names have changed. The raid arrays are both currently offline, but running the mdadm --examine command shows that they are all present and correct and all in step with each other just with different device names to /etc/mdadm.conf to what they are in reality. I'd like another pair of eyes to have a look before I commit to making changes. The arrays are formatted as xfs and I've had problems with that in the past so want to be sure.

My question is how do I go about getting the arrays back up? After reading the notes it would appear I would have to re-assemble the drives as follows, is this correct?

mdadm --stop /dev/md130
mdadm --stop /dev/md130

mdadm --assemble /dev/md130 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi /dev/sdp /dev/sdq /dev/sdr /dev/sds
mdadm --assemble /dev/md136 /dev/sdt /dev/sdu /dev/sdv /dev/sdw /dev/sdx /dev/sdy /dev/sdz /dev/sdaa /dev/sdab /dev/sdac /dev/sdad /dev/sdae

mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf

Here's the output from various commands that I believe are the important ones.

Thanks

Bryan

That looks a bit overengineered...

You can reduce the mdadm.conf to just use UUID and nothing else

ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=cb850648:d5b35007:dc6000f0:b48ab578

Keep the /dev/md/name if you need it but everything else 
(num-devices, metadata, devices, level, ...) is part 
of the metadata, no need to duplicate it in the conf.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with the metadata itself 
(all clean, same update time, same event count) so unless 
the devices get detected late or something it should just work 
when assembling by UUID...

Andreas Klauer
