Subject: Building new RAID5 results in removed and failed devices
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:26:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C23BF79.2070009@gmx.at> (raw)

1. I delete my old array md0
2. Then I create a new one as md1
3. The new md1 is not ok and shows removed, faulty and spare devices.
5. I tried this serveral times now, but i always get the same issue.

I am at my wits end and would very much appreciate your advice. Thank 
you in advance.

This is what I did:

/dev/ mdadm --stop md0
mdadm: stopped md0

/dev/ mdadm --remove md0

/dev/ mdadm --detail md0
mdadm: md device md0 does not appear to be active.

/dev/ mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdd1

/dev/ mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc1
mdadm: Unrecognised md component device - /dev/sdc1

/dev/ mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb1

/dev/ mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --chunk=64 --level=5 
--raid-devices=2 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdb1
mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric
mdadm: size set to 1953511936K
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.

/dev/ mdadm --detail md1
