Hello all, I've got a helluva problem and I'm hoping someone here can possibly help out. I've got raid5 (sdb1,sbc1,sdd1) on a partition, and one of the drives (sdd1) went bad. So I (stupidly) hit the reset button on the computer, but now the partition won't mount. Raid complains that one drive is bad (which it is), and that the other is out of sync. See part of dmesg below... Am I hosed? Can I fake out raid by commenting out some of the code that tries to determine whether or not the drive is fresh? Thanks, Monty part of dmesg: md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 raid5: measuring checksumming speed 8regs : 247.600 MB/sec 32regs : 248.000 MB/sec pII_mmx : 337.200 MB/sec p5_mmx : 409.200 MB/sec raid5: using function: p5_mmx (409.200 MB/sec) md: raid5 personality registered as nr 4 [events: 00000003] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000002] md: autorun ... md: considering sdd1 ... md: adding sdd1 ... md: adding sdc1 ... md: adding sdb1 ... md: created md0 md: bind<sdb1,1> md: bind<sdc1,2> md: bind<sdd1,3> md: running: <sdd1><sdc1><sdb1> md: sdd1's event counter: 00000002 md: sdc1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdb1's event counter: 00000003 md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one md: freshest: sdc1 md: kicking non-fresh sdd1 from array! md: unbind<sdd1,2> md: export_rdev(sdd1) md0: kicking faulty sdb1! md: unbind<sdb1,1> md: export_rdev(sdb1) md0: removing former faulty sdd1! md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction md0: max total readahead window set to 496k md0: 2 data-disks, max readahead per data-disk: 248k raid5: device sdc1 operational as raid disk 1 raid5: not enough operational devices for md0 (2/3 failed) RAID5 conf printout: --- rd:3 wd:1 fd:2 disk 0, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00] disk 1, s:0, o:1, n:1 rd:1 us:1 dev:sdc1 disk 2, s:0, o:0, n:2 rd:2 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00] raid5: failed to run raid set md0 md: pers->run() failed ... md :do_md_run() returned -22 md: md0 stopped. md: unbind<sdc1,0> md: export_rdev(sdc1) md: ... autorun DONE. - 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
