Hi, I am trying to simulate a case that two drives in an array fail ad same time. I use two ide drives, I try to create a raid 5 array with 4 arms, created as following: /dev/hdc1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hde2 This is just for test, I know create two arms on one hard drive doesn't make much sense. Anyway, when I run this array, if I power off one of hard drive (/dev/hde) to simulate two arms failing at same time in an array, I got system Oops. I am using 2.4-18 kernel. Anyone can tell me if this is normal? or if there is a fix for this? Thanks in advance. Here are the output: ================================= hde: drive not ready for command md: updating md0 RAID superblock on device md: (skipping faulty hde2 ) md: hdc2 [events: 00000002]<6>(write) hdc2's sb offset: 3469952 md: (skipping faulty hde1 ) md: hdc1 [events: 00000002]<6>(write) hdc1's sb offset: 16064896 md0: no spare disk to reconstruct array! -- continuing in degraded mode md: recovery thread finished ... md: recovery thread got woken up ... md0: no spare disk to reconstruct array! -- continuing in degraded mode md: recovery thread finished ... sector=561a8 i=0 00000000 00000000 8132e840 0 kernel BUG at raid5.c:309! kupdated(7): Oops ================================================ - 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
