Hi All,
Thanks very much for the two people who helped me figure out my problem
with autostarting RAIDs yesterday. I have my system up and booting off
the SCSI RAID but cannot get a second RAID built out of new 120GB
Seagate IDE drives. The drives seem to work fine, but a power failure
caused the RAID to need rebuilding, and the drives don't seem to be
able to handle the sustained I/O. After about 15 minutes of
rebuilding, the rebuild fails due to drive errors. I've tried
connecting the drives to both my HPT366 controller and the primary IDE
controller with the same results. I saw that some of the messages were
DMA related to I tried using hdparm to turn DMA off on the drives, and
other than making it take approx 10x as long to fail, no big change.
This is a RedHat9 box fully updated running the latest kernel:
2.4.20-30.9smp.
Is this certainly a failure in the drive, or is there anything else I
can try before going through all the hassles of getting another drive?
Does it look like it's just hdb that's bad?
Contents of messages during the failure are at the end of the message.
Thanks in advance! Please copy me off the list as I'm not subscribed.
