Hello, Had a drive report via 'smartd' and 'smartctl' that it was having trouble reading a sector. For about two days "197 Current_Pending_Sector" indicated one. Then the drive appears to have recovered itself and the count went to zero. Strangely a 'dd iflag=direct' of the drive to /dev/null was successful during the period where the unreadable sector count was non-zero. 'smartctl -l error' reports no errors. Concerned, I ran a 'cmp' of the two mirror image LVs (_mimage_0 vs _mimage_1) for each of the LVs on the drive. Two compare differently; in particular one that is presently not "open" according to the 'lvs' command failed to compare. Does anyone know how to deal with this? A concern is that the _mimage_0 LV is on the drive experiencing the problem. Versions are lvm2-2.02.84-6.el5_7.1 kernel-2.6.18-274.el5 Thanks _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
