Hi all, I bought this neat little NAS box (dlink dns-323). I runs linux-2.6.12.6 and mdadm 2.5.6 There is a nice community and tools to "hack" it and use it as a "normal" linux system. I would like to run raid1 "repair" and "check" sync_action. However, I do not have a sync_action file in /sys. sysfs was not mounted, maybe that is the problem... There is a /sys folder holding stuff that does not look like a sysfs heirachy: ls -l /sys total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 197 Mar 27 02:41 crfs drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Sep 9 17:29 custom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 9 17:29 mtd1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 13 2006 mtd2 So i did : mkdir /sys2 mount -t sysfs /sys2 /sys2 ( This worked, is it proper? ) The structure under /sys2 looks familiar, however, in /sys2/block/md0 I have no md folder! only : /sys2/block/md0 # ls -l total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 10 09:39 dev -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 10 09:39 range -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 10 09:39 removable -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 10 09:39 size -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 10 09:39 stat I have been reading this list for a few years now and I know I am a little off topic and should go to the forums about the dns-323... But I found nothing anywhere. So, am I doing something wrong with sysfs ? Should i assemble the array after sysfs is mounted? Is there a sync_action in 2.6.12? Also, is there any other way to trigger the check/repair? I can code/compile my own userspace tool to call an ioctl if needed... Is my only option to write my own scripted sector diff/remap tool? Upgrading the kernel is an option but requires flashing the firmware, something I would rather avoid at this point. any help appreciated. lmg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
