No I didn't. I saw no need to since it has been working perfectly fine following the conversion from 2.2 to 2.4 kernel. > What does fsck -f show on (the unmounted) filesystem now ? I can't unmount it right now. I went ahead and ran "mkraid" to re-create the array. I'm now restoring from backups. I was going to do that anyway, as I indicated in my first message. Sorry, I tried to get as much data for you as possible. I did run the "lsraid" commands prior to re-making if you want the output from them. Let me know. > It is also possible that you have hardware errors, bad cabling, bad > disk, etc. Anything suspicious in dmesg ? I doubt that there were any kind of hardware errors. I double-checked everything and scanned the logs after installing the new drives. There were no problems using the array in its original configuration after installing the new drives, but before reconfiguring. I've included RAID-related entries from "dmesg" at the bottom of this message. This is since the last reboot after "mkraid". > It is really important to run fsck -f on arrays after running raidreconf > and before re-sizing the filesystem.

I should add this note to the raidreconf > output after successful reconfiguration. Yes, that might have been helpful information. I had a backup plan anyway. I'll take this extra step next time, but I don't envision it happening anytime soon. There is likely some information in /var/log/messages that may be useful to you. Would you like me to attach a "gzipped" copy of it to a reply? I'm sorry, but I don't have time to pick through it right now to extract the RAID info. Thanks! :-) --Cal Webster ################################ ## Begin "dmesg" RAID entries ## ################################ Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAA3182S SUN18G Rev: 2107 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST318438LW Rev: 0003 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST318438LW Rev: 0003 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST318438LW Rev: 0003 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdc at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdd at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sde at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdf at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdg at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdh at scsi0, channel 0, id 8, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdi at scsi0, channel 0, id 9, lun 0 sym53c875-0-<0,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sda: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sda: sda1 sda3 sym53c875-0-<1,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdb: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sdb: sdb1 sdb3 sym53c875-0-<2,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdc: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sdc: sdc1 sdc3 sym53c875-0-<3,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdd: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sdd: sdd1 sdd3 sym53c875-0-<4,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sde: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sde: sde1 sde3 sym53c875-0-<5,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdf: 35378533 512-byte hdwr sectors (18114 MB) sdf: sdf1 sdf3 sym53c875-0-<6,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdg: 38914049 512-byte hdwr sectors (19924 MB) sdg: sdg1 sdg3 sym53c875-0-<8,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdh: 38914049 512-byte hdwr sectors (19924 MB) sdh: sdh1 sdh3 sym53c875-0-<9,*>: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s (100.0 ns, offset 16) SCSI device sdi: 38914049 512-byte hdwr sectors (19924 MB) sdi: sdi1 sdi3 raid5: measuring checksumming speed VIS : 113.600 MB/sec raid5: using function: VIS (113.600 MB/sec) md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] [events: 00000004] md: autorun ... md: considering sdi1 ... md: adding sdi1 ... md: adding sdh1 ... md: adding sdg1 ... md: adding sdf1 ... md: adding sde1 ... md: adding sdd1 ... md: adding sdc1 ... md: adding sdb1 ... md: adding sda1 ... md: created md0 md: bind<sda1,1> md: bind<sdb1,2> md: bind<sdc1,3> md: bind<sdd1,4> md: bind<sde1,5> md: bind<sdf1,6> md: bind<sdg1,7> md: bind<sdh1,8> md: bind<sdi1,9> md: running: <sdi1><sdh1><sdg1><sdf1><sde1><sdd1><sdc1><sdb1><sda1> md: sdi1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdh1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdg1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdf1's event counter: 00000004 md: sde1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdd1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdc1's event counter: 00000004 md: sdb1's event counter: 00000004 md: sda1's event counter: 00000004 md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction md: raid5 personality registered as nr 4 md0: max total readahead window set to 3584k md0: 7 data-disks, max readahead per data-disk: 512k raid5: spare disk sdi1 raid5: device sdh1 operational as raid disk 7 raid5: device sdg1 operational as raid disk 6 raid5: device sdf1 operational as raid disk 5 raid5: device sde1 operational as raid disk 4 raid5: device sdd1 operational as raid disk 3 raid5: device sdc1 operational as raid disk 2 raid5: device sdb1 operational as raid disk 1 raid5: device sda1 operational as raid disk 0 raid5: allocated 17026kB for md0 raid5: raid level 5 set md0 active with 8 out of 8 devices, algorithm 0 raid5: raid set md0 not clean;
