weird SparesMissing event

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone,

I've got a strange SparesMissing event on one of my raid1 arrays.
mdadm --detail /dev/md2 says all ok, but I get this message by mdadm
monitor every day:

A SparesMissing event had been detected on md device /dev/md2.

Faithfully yours, etc.

P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:

Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdc3[2](S) sdb3[1]
      474714048 blocks [2/2] [UU]
[...]

root@MCI03:~# mdadm --detail /dev/md2
/dev/md2:
        Version : 0.90
  Creation Time : Fri May 28 14:54:26 2010
     Raid Level : raid1
     Array Size : 474714048 (452.72 GiB 486.11 GB)
  Used Dev Size : 474714048 (452.72 GiB 486.11 GB)
   Raid Devices : 2
  Total Devices : 3
Preferred Minor : 2
    Persistence : Superblock is persistent

    Update Time : Wed Aug 11 08:52:13 2010
          State : clean
 Active Devices : 2
Working Devices : 3
 Failed Devices : 0
  Spare Devices : 1

           UUID : 7aa24776:9d6e8d24:54307b3d:1949437b (local to host MCI03)
         Events : 0.985979

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        3        0      active sync   /dev/sda3
       1       8       19        1      active sync   /dev/sdb3

       2       8       35        -      spare   /dev/sdc3


This makes me wonder, too:

root@MCI03:~# mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=304f5f2a:fbc8082b:54307b3d:1949437b
   spares=1
ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=b263f9c1:5c680152:54307b3d:1949437b
   spares=1
ARRAY /dev/md2 UUID=7aa24776:9d6e8d24:54307b3d:1949437b
   spares=2

Why spares=2 for md2? It was created during Debian system install with
spares=1.

root@MCI03:~# mdadm -V
mdadm - v3.0.3 - 22nd October 2009

root@MCI03:~# uname -r
2.6.32preemptive


What's wrong here?
Thanks for any comments!

Best regards, Tobi
