Subject: misleading error message from raid1d
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 15:02:16 +0800 [thread overview]

Hi All,
We recently sent some a snippet of error logs to a vendor when
returning a faulty drive, and received 2 replacement drives back
(how's that for service!?) due to them misinterpreting the following
message as an error on sdc (sdb was the drive that actually failed).
Mar 13 01:02:26 mds001 kernel: raid1: sdc2: redirecting sector 3355736
to another mirror
This seems to originate from the following snippet of code:
if ((disk=read_balance(conf, r1_bio)) == -1) {
**************
} else {
const bool do_sync = bio_rw_flagged(r1_bio->master_bio, BIO_RW_SYNCIO);
r1_bio->bios[r1_bio->read_disk] =
mddev->ro ? IO_BLOCKED : NULL;
r1_bio->read_disk = disk;
bio_put(bio);
bio = bio_clone(r1_bio->master_bio, GFP_NOIO);
r1_bio->bios[r1_bio->read_disk] = bio;
rdev = conf->mirrors[disk].rdev;
if (printk_ratelimit())
printk(KERN_ERR "raid1: %s: redirecting sector %llu to"
" another mirror\n",
bdevname(rdev->bdev,b),
(unsigned long long)r1_bio->sector);
Which as far as I can tell prints the name of the device on which the
request is retried, rather than the failed device. Is that what we
want?
Cheers,
Tim
