Hello! When we disable a partition from a raid meta device and try to reattach it again without a reboot in between the resynch often starts hanging. After a reboot the resynch does complete. In detail: We use Linux version 2.4.19-64GB-SMP We create a raid1 meta devivce: mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 We disable one piece from the meta device: mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sda1 -r /dev/sda1 We reattach it to the meta device: mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sda1 And very often but not always the resych hangs with cat /proc/mdstat showing: md0 : active raid1 sda1[2] sdb1[1] 80256 blocks [2/1] [_U] [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (0/80256) finish=26.7min speed=0K/sec Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
