Well, I thought it was fixed, but I suppose I was wrong... OK, I admit I was a bit brutal, but anyway. The problem is that I have power outages here once in a while, it's something with the wiring in this appartment (yes, I am running this server at home, have an UPS, but it only lasts 40 min.). So I pulled the plug of the server to give it a test, to see if it comes back up fine and will reconstruct the array right. Everything comes back up fine, the RAID array starts reconstructing. But after an hour or so I find this: /proc/mdstat: Nov 28 04:41:56 [kernel] md: md_do_sync() got signal ... exiting Nov 28 04:41:56 [kernel] raid1: mirror resync was not fully finished, restarting next time. . /bus1/target0/lun0/part1 in my log: Nov 28 04:41:44 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Nov 28 04:41:44 [kernel] md: (skipping faulty ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 ) Nov 28 04:41:45 [kernel] hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } - Last output repeated 8 times - Nov 28 04:41:56 [kernel] md: md_do_sync() got signal ... exiting Nov 28 04:41:56 [kernel] raid1: mirror resync was not fully finished, restarting next time. Does this mean one of the drives is bad?
