I have researched RAID, RAID 5, and my conclusion is that the following RAID 5 Status listings show that the software RAID 5 (md4) is OK/good.
But I need at least a second opinion! output from: 'cat /proc/mdstat' md4 : active raid5 sdc1[0] sde1[3] sdd1[1] 1465143552 blocks super 1.0 level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_] bitmap: 1/350 pages [4KB], 1024KB chunk (NOTE: md0-3 are RAID 1 and certainly OK). my concern here is '[3/2] [UU_]' above output from: 'mdadm --detail /dev/md4' /dev/md4: Version : 01.00.03 Creation Time : Mon Mar 24 12:06:43 2008 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 1465143552 (1397.27 GiB 1500.31 GB) Used Dev Size : 1465143552 (1397.27 GiB 1500.31 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 4 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Tue Jun 3 13:30:13 2008 State : active, degraded Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 1 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 128K Name : 4 UUID : 14e8cb06:2fd235d1:362ac661:e1e4c384 Events : 9702 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1 3 8 65 2 spare rebuilding /dev/sde1 my concerns here are: State : active, degraded Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 3 8 65 2 spare rebuilding /dev/sde1 * NOTE: I searched system logs after 3 startup, run, and shutdown cycles and did or could not find the follwing matches in the log for md4: 'Disk failure' NOTHING Found 'resyncing' NOTHING Found 'disabling' Found 'kernel: JBD: barrier-based sync failed on md4 - disabling barriers' when the system starts up' I thank you for your reviews and opinions! |

One of the elements in the array is degraded, as the report says. You have to reincorporate it into the array.

Thank you, the status was NOT OK
to resolve this I did the follwing: 1) turned off quotas on /dev/sde via YaST->partitioner (could not remove sde1 from md4 because 'quotas' was still using drive) 2) removed md4/sde1 via 'mdadm /dev/md4 -r /dev/sde1' 3) added md4 sde1 back via 'mdadm /dev/md4 -a /dev/sde1' NOTE:turning quotas back on for /dev/sde1 after addition worked Outputs are now correct for RAID 5 '/dev/md4' ! cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md4 : active raid5 sdc1[0] sde1[3] sdd1[1] 1465143552 blocks super 1.0 level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] bitmap: 0/350 pages [0KB], 1024KB chunk AND mdadm --detail /dev/md4 /dev/md4: Version : 01.00.03 Creation Time : Mon Mar 24 12:06:43 2008 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 1465143552 (1397.27 GiB 1500.31 GB) Used Dev Size : 1465143552 (1397.27 GiB 1500.31 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 4 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Thu Jun 5 21:38:57 2008 State : active Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 128K Name : 4 UUID : 14e8cb06:2fd235d1:362ac661:e1e4c384 Events : 9814 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1 3 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 NOW everything fixed OK with RAID 5 /dev/sde1 Thank you for your help! |
