I had exactly the same problem this week with a costumer raid. Solved it via: - calculate the hardware block where the Superblock resides - dd if=/dev/sdXY of=superblock seek=block_of_superblock bs=512 - hexedit superblock checksum - dd of=/dev/sdXY if=superblock skip=block_of_superblock bs=512 this is not the correct way to go. But noticing that only ONE BIT was skipped in the checksum, but all the other EXAMINE-information seemed right, I thought it's the only way to go to get ahold of the data on the array. hope it helps, Stefan Am 10.08.2010 23:35, schrieb Jon Hardcastle: > Help! > > Long story short - I was watching a movie off my RAID6 array.

This drive has caused me problems before - the last time when the cat knocked the computer over and dislodged the controller card. But several echo "check" sync_action later and several weeks I have not had a peep out of it. > > ANYWAYS. after the reboot the array wont assemble (is that normal?) > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: md: running: > <sdg1><sdf1><sde1><sdd1><sdb1> <sda1> > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: md4 is not clean -- starting > background reconstruction > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sdg1 operational as raid > disk 0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sdf1 operational as raid > disk 6 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sde1 operational as raid > disk 2 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sdd1 operational as raid > disk 4 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sdb1 operational as raid > disk 5 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: device sda1 operational as raid > disk 1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: allocated 7343kB for md4 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 0: w=1 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 6: w=2 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 2: w=3 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 4: w=4 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 5: w=5 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: 1: w=6 pa=0 pr=7 m=2 a=2 r=7 op1=0 > op2=0 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: cannot start dirty degraded > array for md4 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: RAID5 conf printout: > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: --- rd:7 wd:6 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 0, o:1, dev:sdg1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 1, o:1, dev:sda1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 2, o:1, dev:sde1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 4, o:1, dev:sdd1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 5, o:1, dev:sdb1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: disk 6, o:1, dev:sdf1 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: raid5: failed to run raid set md4 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: md: pers->run() failed ... > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: md: do_md_run() returned -5 > > Aug 10 22:00:07 mangalore kernel: md: md4 stopped. > > It appears sdc has an invalid superblock? > > This is the 'examine' from sdc1 (note the checksum) > > /dev/sdc1: > > Magic : a92b4efc > > Version : 0.90.00 > > UUID : 7438efd1:9e6ca2b5:d6b88274: 7003b1d3 > > Creation Time : Thu Oct 11 00:01:49 2007 > > Raid Level : raid6 > > Used Dev Size : 488383936 (465.76 GiB 500.11 GB) > > Array Size : 2441919680 (2328.80 GiB 2500.53 GB) > > Raid Devices : 7 > > Total Devices : 7 > > Preferred Minor : 4 > > > > Update Time : Tue Aug 10 21:39:49 2010 > > State : active > > Active Devices : 7 > > Working Devices : 7 > > Failed Devices : 0 > > Spare Devices : 0 > > Checksum : b335b4e3 - expected b735b4e3 > > Events : 1860555 > > > > Layout : left-symmetric > > Chunk Size : 64K > > > > Number Major Minor RaidDevice State > > this 3 8 33 3 active sync /dev/sdc1 > > > > 0 0 8 97 0 active sync /dev/sdg1 > > 1 1 8 1 1 active sync /dev/sda1 > > 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 > > 3 3 8 33 3 active sync /dev/sdc1 > > 4 4 8 49 4 active sync /dev/sdd1 > > 5 5 8 17 5 active sync /dev/sdb1 > > 6 6 8 81 6 active sync /dev/sdf1 > Anyways...

It should then assemble? I have 2 spare drives that I am getting around to using to replace this drive and the other 500GB.. so should I remove sdc1... and try and re-add or just put the new drive in? > > atm I have 'stop'ped the array and got badblocks running.... > > > > -- > 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 -- 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
