Hello, I've made a raid1 mirror of an lvm partition and an nbd from another machine. Then I created an ext3 fs on it. I patched nbd-client.c to close the socket on network failure to prevent some kind of dead-lock when the connection between the two machines dies. This all works quite well, but after about 6~12 disconnects and reconnects of the nbd (disc-failures for the raid) while the recovery thread is working, the recovery thread is show as folling in /proc/mdstat: | [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (0/16777152) | finish=461360.7min speed=0K/sec So there is no recovery :-( I'm not shure whether this only happens if there is write activity on the raid, but in most cases there was. The recovery thread did never complete because I disconnected after ~30s after reconnect. mdrecoveryd and raid1d show up normal in top, they are just not running. Not to forget, /proc/mdstat shows the recovery stats also when I remove the disc again. Is there any way to stop the recovery thread manually?
