I'm using kernel-2.6.19 and mdadm-2.5.5.
I figured out that the error occured because large block device support wasnt
enabled in the kernel, and because the array is bigger than 2tb now.
If its possible to change, then I'd suggest replacing the "compute_blocknr:
map not correct" message (from the reshape process) with a hit or something
more informative.
Also mdadm could post a warning before someone try to cross the 2tb limit in a
grow process, which require large block support - or just check if its been
enabled.
It would atleast have saved me from the trouble :-)
You can check out the recent "Trouble when growing a raid5 array" email
thread, where I try to describe the experience more detailed.
