Subject: Raid5/6 journal re-add
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2017 18:00:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4752eee7-7b05-55fc-9e0b-d9446ef4328d@gmail.com> (raw)
I did a 'pull-the-drive' test on a raid6 array with a write-journal and
found that mdadm (v4.0-218-gfe05dc4 - 2017-11-09) would not let me
--re-add the drive so I add to --add it.
mdadm: --re-add for /dev/sdq1 to /dev/md124 is not possible
My expectation was that the drive would be recognized as being the
missing member and would be re-added and only out-of-sync regions would
be resync'd.
When I --add'ed the drive to the array the resync process started for
the entire array, not just for the out-of-sync regions. Is this correct
behavior for arrays with write journals? Are there plans to perform a
selective re-sync rather than a full re-sync?
