John, Have you found a solution to the problem? If not then which kernel version are you using. The problem you are talking about seems like a bug in md that got fixed recently. -dinesh -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John Madden Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 12:31 PM To: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: md multipath restart problem > When I stop it manually, then re-activate it: > > # ./mdadm -A /dev/md0 > mdadm: device 1 in /dev/md0 has wrong state in superblock, but > /.dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 seems ok > mdadm: failed to add /.dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 to /dev/md0: > Device or resource busy > mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). FWIW, I found after more playing with it that rather than using -A, if I use --build, I'm able to bring the raidset back up with both IO paths active. Is there a bug in -A with it not unlocking the devices a it traverses them to bring them into the array?
