Hi,

I am facing an issue during RAID1 resync. I have an ubuntu
4.4.0-31-generic running with raid1 configured with 2 disks as active
and 2 as spares. On the first powercycle, after installing RAID, i see
the following messages in kern.log


My disks are configured with 4K sector size (both logical and
physical) (sda and sdb are active disks for this raid)

Seems to be an unaligned access from mdraid1 during resync. Do you
have any idea, why we are seeing it. How do i debug this issue.


I was looking at the following patch (
http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=142405887609959&w=2 ), by Nate in the
function narrow_write_error(), where the alignment was made correctly
to disk sector size. Do you think, similar roundups are required in
resync path as well.

More info:

1) We have checks for previous raid configurations present in device
partitions ( we do mdadm --examine and if present, we zero out
superblocks)
2) Each device is partitioned into 4 and used for 4 different raid devices.
3) Say sda is partitioned into 4 (sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4) and each
partition is part of one raid device.
4) Raid1 create command.
     /sbin/mdadm --quiet --create /dev/md1 --force --level=1
--metadata=default --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
--spare-devices=2 /dev/sdc1/dev/sdd1


Thanks in advance,
