The output of mdadm -E is incomplete. Please make sure the whole output is included, including the table of devices. All your disks report a lot of ECC errors: 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 139150990 You may wanna check your cables and/or RAM (RAM can be tested with a free tool called memtest86). Also, if you don't have smartmontools (or smartd to be specific) configured to run periodical polling and testing, you may wanna run: smartctl -t offline /dev/sdx for all disks and wait till it's finished, then you should be able to see whether you have bad sectors or not. Have you tried force-assembling the array again? mdadm -Af /dev/md0 P.S.: Make sure you reply to all not just me. Re-send the email with the files to the mailing list so that others can look at them as well :) 2010/1/2 Michał Sawicz <michal@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Dnia 2010-01-02, sob o godzinie 20:33 +0300, Majed B. pisze: >> Post the output of mdadm -E /dev/sdx1 and smart -a /dev/sdx for all >> disks. > > Please find the files attached. > >> Also, which version of mdadm are you using? > > media ~ # mdadm --version > mdadm - v3.1.1 - 19th November 2009 > > > -- > Pozdrawiam > Michał (Saviq) Sawicz > -- Majed B. -- 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
