I have a RAID5 (5+1spare) setup that works perfectly well until I
reboot. I have 6 drives (two different models) partitioned to give me 2
arrays, md0 and md1, that I use for /home and /var respectively.
When I reboot, the system assembles each array, but swaps out what was
the spare with one of the member drives. It then immediately detects a
degraded array and rebuilds. After that, all is fine and testing has
shown things to be working like they should. Until I reboot.
Example:
Built two arrays: /dev/md0 -> /dev/sd[abcef]1 and /dev/md1 ->
/dev/sd[abcef]2
Added /dev/sdg1 and /dev/sdg2 as spares, and this works.
One scenario when I reboot:
md0 is assembled from sd[abceg]1; it's degraded and reports a
"spares missing" event.
md1 assembles correctly, spare is not missing
Any ideas? I have asked about this on various boards (some said UDEV
rules would help, some thought the issue had to do with the /dev/sdX
names changing, etc). I don't think those are applicable since dmesg
reports the arrays assemble as soon as the disks are detected.
Thanks in advance!
