mdadm: What does "Failed devices : -1" mean ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, 
Hope this is not a silly question: 
Knows anybody what this "minus one" means in the message 
"Failed Devices : -1"  AND   why are "Total Devices : 1" when 
working devices are 2 ?? 
I am testing a raid1 SCSI system with 10 partitions. 
After some simulated fails an rebuilds 2 partitions 
are left over with this message. 
Using  mdadm with --fail => --remove => --add  didn't help 
(in other cases it did), only  --stop and then --create 
which recreated the array anew. 
But  /dev/md10  is my root partition which I can't 
stop and recreate. 
 
Any idea would be appreciated, 
thanks - IvorJoseph 
P.S. (Of course, I have already googled, scanned FAQs and mailing lists :-)
