Message-ID: <20240218112349.61a97801@firefly> X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.13.2 (GTK+ 2.24.30; aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu) Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I cannot get my RAID 6 array to resync. I'm using mdadm version v4.1. I've tried kernels 5.18.X, 6.0.X, and 6.3.X on Devuan (Debian) Linux. % echo resync > /sys/devices/virtual/block/md127/md/sync_action Does nothing. % mdadm --assemble --update=resync /dev/md127 Does nothing. I should see a status change to resync with mdadm --detail /dev/md127 and hear some activity from the drives. I tried adding the verbose option, but it only lists the recognizing of the drives and adding them to the array. The array currently has some mismatches which need to be corrected. It's currently registering all devices in "active sync" status and says that it is "clean". I tried setting the flag, in misc mode, to readonly and then back to readwrite but that still doesn't allow the array to be resync'd. In desperation, I tried unplugging one of the drives, it holds most/all of the mismatches -- the SATA cable was going bad, and then I touch(1)ed a file on the FS and unmounted the FS. Although the array recognized the failure of the drive, it did not start resync the array upon adding the drive back into the array. Any ideas how to resync the array? Thanks, David
