I have a raid0 comprised of 4x identical 300Gb drives Disk /dev/hdf: 300.0 GB, 300001443840 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36473 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0009f25f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdf1 * 1 36473 292969341 fd Linux raid autodetect md1 : active raid0 hdk1[0] hdg1[2] hdf1[1] hde1[3] 1171876864 blocks 256k chunks hdf recently wobbled and the kernel happily dumped out the following message (about 20 odd times) hdf: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdf: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=216521307, high=12, low=15194715, sector=216521303 ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdf, sector 216521303 terrific. smartctl shows 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 252 252 063 Pre-fail Always - 16 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0008 251 251 000 Old_age Offline - 2 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0008 253 253 000 Old_age Offline - 1 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0008 252 252 000 Old_age Offline - 1 so while a few sectors have been remapped the sector remapping table is barely used, so I'm reasonably confident the disk is 'ok' in terms of normal operation Now my question about all this is how the hell do I determine what file it was trying to access? (I just want to be sure that whatever file it was fiddling with isn't a steaming pile of poo now) normally if it were a single disk it would be reasonably straightforward to work out what file was being used from debugfs: icheck <block>, ncheck <inode from previews operation> the issue I have with raid0 is, exactly what block should I be pointing debugfs at since the kernel has given an absolute address on a physical disk and no logical information as to where in the FS it was at the time ? tune2fs -l /dev/md1 Block count: 292969216 Block size: 4096 mdadm --examine /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdf1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : 2132d2e6:a2955ac2:6ad2f3dc:52b3dfd6 Creation Time : Wed May 26 18:34:06 2004 Raid Level : raid0 Used Dev Size : 292969216 (279.40 GiB 300.00 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Wed May 26 18:34:06 2004 State : active Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : bd5e5781 - correct Events : 0.5 Chunk Size : 256K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 33 65 1 active sync /dev/hdf1 0 0 33 1 0 active sync /dev/hde1 1 1 33 65 1 active sync /dev/hdf1 2 2 34 1 2 active sync /dev/hdg1 3 3 34 65 3 active sync <--- empty. bug? (expected /dev/hdk1) mdadm --version mdadm - v2.6.2 - 21st May 2007 Would I be correct in assuming that I start my offset from hde1? do I need some other funky math to account for striping/blocking? Or I could just say 'to hell with it' and listen to elevator music all day.
