Hello, I have server on AMD64 platform with root on SW RAID1, which was made by mdadm utility. Distribution is Debian AMD64 sid. I have two disks on SATA controller. dmesg say: sata_via(0000:00:0f.0): routed to hard irq line 11 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB800 ctl 0xBC02 bmdma 0xC800 irq 20 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xC000 ctl 0xC402 bmdma 0xC808 irq 20 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:346b 83:7d01 84:4003 85:3469 86:3c01 87:4003 88:407f ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 156301488 sectors: lba48 ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi0 : sata_via ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:346b 83:7d01 84:4003 85:3469 86:3c01 87:4003 88:407f ata2: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 156301488 sectors: lba48 ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi1 : sata_via Using anticipatory io scheduler Vendor: ATA Model: ST380817AS Rev: 3.42 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Vendor: ATA Model: ST380817AS Rev: 3.42 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sda: 156301488 512-byte hdwr sectors (80026 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sdb: 156301488 512-byte hdwr sectors (80026 MB) SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write back /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 ... md: md0 stopped. md: bind<sdb1> md: bind<sda1> md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction raid1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md: syncing RAID array md0 md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 1000 KB/sec/disc. md: using maximum available idle IO bandwith (but not more than 200000 KB/sec) for reconstruction. md: using 128k window, over a total of 76172096 blocks. ... and after recontruction: md: md0: sync done. RAID1 conf printout: --- wd:2 rd:2 disk 0, wo:0, o:1, dev:sda1 disk 1, wo:0, o:1, dev:sdb1 I have problem, because I though, that this level of RAID give me a functionality, when one of disk will have problem. But I had twice problem, when is occured problem to write to the sdb disk and md0 device hang-up. And, unfortunately, I have not any dmesg messages after hang-up, md0 is root filesystem and there is logs too. Now I removed one partion from swap to the /var/log to have some messages about hung-up of md0 RAID. Have I somethink bad? What you can advice me about this situation? Why RAID1 hung-up? Please, cc to me, since I'm not subscribed. Thank you very much. Sicerely Jan Marek -- Ing.
