Hi!
I have a 4 drive SW RAID5 running on my machine. One of the drives is upset
for some reason - I'm not sure if the drive itself is bad, but that's not
too important right now. The important thing is to get the RAID5 to stop
using this drive and start using a spare drive that I just added.
The current raid status is:
[root@hal cdl]# lsraid -a /dev/md4
lsraid: Unable to read raid superblock from device "/dev/sdr1": Input/output
error
lsraid: Device "/dev/sdr1" does not have a valid raid superblock

[dev 65, 33] /dev/sds1 24989439.D4F0D908.67494E4A.97B3BA91 spare
[root@hal cdl]#
Clearly, sdr is unhappy. However, /proc/mdstat says that all the drives are
online:
md4 : active raid5 sds1[4] sdr1[0] sdm1[3] sdl1[2] sdk1[1]
430115904 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
I did a raidhotadd to add in a new drive, sds. Now, I would like the array
to stop using sdr and reconstruct all of the parity tables on sds so I can
pull sdr and get it replaced or whatever...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark
