Hi all,
Some time ago, I wanted to setup a software RAID-1 between hdc2 and
hdg2. However, not being familiar with mdadm and software raid, I made a
couple of bad commands. I don't remember the exact commands, but it's in
the order of setting /dev/hdc, /dev/hdc2, /dev/hdg and /dev/hdg2 in
the same RAID. Because of this, I was getting all sorts of errors in my
dmesg (see dmesg-broken below), but otherwise the RAID would work fine.
After setting my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to:
DEVICE /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdg2
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=b013e39b:ec629293:98df4657:97255939
I don't get theses errors in my dmesg (see dmesg-now), but I can still
see incoherent data when looking at md0 -- see the lines Total Devices
and Failed Devices in mdadm below.
I tried to
mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/hdc
but without success:
mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/hdc: No such device or address
I'm wondering what would be the easiest way to correct this. If
possible, I'd prefer not having to start from scratch.
I'm running kernel 2.4.27-2-k7 on debian testing and using mdadm v1.12.0.
Thanks in advance,
GFK's
