i've a raid 5 setup with 3 disks each of 1 GB. i'm using it for some experimentation purpose. resync is n progress and is not ending at all. its almost 15 hrs since the resync started and the "cat /proc/mdstat" always shows something like this. Personalities : [raid5] md0 : active raid5 sdj1[2] sdi1[1] sdh1[0] 2002688 blocks level 5, 8k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] [>....................] resync = 0.0% (0/1001344) finish=442287.5min speed=0K/sec is there anything wrong - can i possibly stop the resync. the problem i'm having is that whichever process tries to do IO with the array is hanging. please help. thanks. srinivasa s - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
