Q: How does raid1 sync if superblocks are dirty?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have oberserved a little bit obscure behavior of my RAID setup if my
system 
comes up after a reset. I have setup a mirror and if I start the RAID after
a 
reset MD detects that the superblocks on the disks are not clean and starts
a 
resync.

If I check the output MD tells me that both disks of the mirror are
operational;
the same if I look at the output of /proc/mdstat: both disks are operational

"... [2/2] [UU] ...". But a resync is still in progress.

My question is: In which direction the resync is done; resp. what is the
sync algorithm in that case?

The kernel version is 2.4.10 (md driver 0.90.0).

regards, Kay
