Hi,
I'm using a somewhat stupid config. due to lack of dosh.
I have two promise PCI dual-channel EIDE cards, each with 4 drives on.
I have 4 200GB drives in a RAID-5 array as masters of each channel, and
4 80GB drives in a RAID-5 array as slaves of each channel.
I also upgraded mdadm to mdadm-1.9.0-1 to fix the problem with 'auto' in
mdadm.conf, but I'm not sure if that actually makes any difference.
In any case, the problem is that one of my drives keeps going 'dirty'. I
have since commented out the other array in fstab so it isn't being
used, and it works fine now.
I did a 'smartctl -t long' and used the ibm disk tool thingy to test the
drive, and both say it is fine.
I figured it would be OK to make one array as master devices and one
array as slaves because I 'know' I will 'never' access both at the same
time - at least, not intensively.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?
Max.
