Hi all! Please CC me on answers since I am not subscribed to this list, thanks. When I try to build a raid1 system with mdadm 2.6.1 the filesystem size recorded in superblock differs from physical size of device. System: ana ~ # uname -a Linux ana 2.6.20-gentoo-r2 #4 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 10 16:25:46 CET 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux ana ~ # mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdadm: /dev/sda1 appears to contain an ext2fs file system size=48152K mtime=Thu Mar 15 17:27:07 2007 mdadm: /dev/sda1 appears to be part of a raid array: level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Thu Mar 15 17:25:52 2007 mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to contain an ext2fs file system size=48152K mtime=Thu Mar 15 17:27:07 2007 mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array: level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Thu Mar 15 17:25:52 2007 Continue creating array? y mdadm: array /dev/md1 started. ana ~ # cat /proc/mdstat md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 48064 blocks [2/2] [UU] ana ~ # mdadm --misc --detail /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Thu Mar 15 17:37:35 2007 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 48064 (46.95 MiB 49.22 MB) Used Dev Size : 48064 (46.95 MiB 49.22 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 1 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Thu Mar 15 17:38:27 2007 State : clean Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : cf0478ee:7e60a40e:20a5e204:cc7bc2c9 Events : 0.4 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 ana ~ # LC_ALL=C fsck.ext3 /dev/md1 e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 48152 blocks The physical size of the device is 48064 blocks Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort<y>? yes Any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you in advance for help!
