There were a few other minor inconsistencies that I thought you might be interested in between the output of "mdadm" and that of "lsraid" from the new raidtools. "mdadm --examine /dev/sda1" shows "State : dirty, no-errors". All other RAID drives show the same. "lsraid -D -a /dev/md0" shows "state = good". All other RAID devices show the same. ## Possibly related: ## Because of this inconsistency, I ran "e2fsck /dev/md0": ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@winggear root]# e2fsck /dev/md0 e2fsck 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/md0: clean, 69960/8847360 files, 9835985/17681664 blocks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Okay, it says "clean" but I'm not buying it.

Everything seems to be running okay, though. The system will be getting some exercise today. I should know soon if there are any problems. Let me know if you'd like for me to check anything. --Cal Webster - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
