Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 10:18:59 +0100 Message-ID: <41C54783.70704@avz.xs4all.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids Hi! First off, kudo's to the linux sw raid + tools maintainers. You saved me this time. I had a hd fail with several raid1 partitions. I replaced the hd, partitioned it and hotadded the partitions. /proc/mdstat reported syncing, so I guess my data is safe. But I still get [U_] instead of [UU]. Help. Also, mdadm -D results has me baffled. For instance: # mdadm -D /dev/md3 /dev/md3: Version : 00.90.00 Creation Time : Sun Dec 19 01:07:36 2004 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 293184 (286.31 MiB 300.22 MB) Device Size : 293184 (286.31 MiB 300.22 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 3 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun Dec 19 09:50:14 2004 State : dirty Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : 27601b2c:d3238813:6fb674c9:289bda1f Events : 0.380 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 3 6 0 active sync /dev/hda6 1 0 0 0 sync 2 22 6 2 active sync /dev/hdc6 And I'm out of wit here. Which partition/device relates to the line "1 0 0 0 sync"? What is state 'sync'? any help much appreciated, cheers Ferenc
