Just for grins, could you post the partition table for each disk?
Maybe just the output of "fdisk -l" to show everything? I always
worry when using drives of "almost" the same size.
Sure, identical tables for all six drives:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320071851520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x733f1de9
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2433 19543041 fd Linux raid
autodetect
/dev/sda2 2434 2677 1959930 82 Linux swap /
Solaris
/dev/sda3 2678 38900 290961247+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 2678 38900 290961216 fd Linux raid
autodetect
Okay, I was just looking at the sizes of the drives, since they are not
the same, and wondering if the HPA used to make them look the same was
in any way leaking and making the HPA area visible. Looks like the
"assembled at the wrong time" is the issue, and any of the fixes will
probably solve the issue.
Oh yes, the addition of the bitmap cured the resync problems. I am so
happy that you guys helped resolving this! This box is to become a
primary work machine for me and the problem with the array was driving
me crazy. I hate having computers doing bad things without an
explanation. Reason #73 that I don't use the Brand-M O/S... ;-)
