Subject: mdadm crashing server?
Hi all,
Have a niggling problem on my home nas at the moment.
I rebuilt a raid 1 array a few nights ago, and haven't
managed to get the disc's to resync since creating a ext3
fs on the array.
It would seem that as soon as they try to resync it
crashes the server, totally. All networking stops, not
responsive at the console.
If I keep the array up with a single disc (doesn't matter
which) then all is fine.
There is another raid on the server using mdadm which runs fine.
Any ideas?
Background:
Server running FC8, up to date on testing tree, although same problem on
stable.
The two disc's are on the tertiary ide (master, slave). Both maxtor
250gb.
Server, Dell Poweredge 600sc.
Thanks
From the Linux software raid howto: It is not recommended to
run the same RAID1 array on the same IDE cable as
master/slave. In fact the howto recommends 1 drive set as
master on one cable only. One reason being if your master
drive goes down, then the slave may not operate correctly.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
