I suppose it's a problem with md0 (all mdraid are assembled at the beginning). Since md0 is raid1, its misassembly wouldn't have any influence (we don't write to devices). mdstat lists both md0 and md1 as having no duplicate indices. I would need info on md0 for this (now minor) remaining bug. > $ sudo mdadm -QD /dev/md2 > /dev/md2: > Version : 0.90 > Creation Time : Mon Mar 27 14:04:18 2006 > Raid Level : raid5 > Array Size : 2185667136 (2084.41 GiB 2238.12 GB) > Used Dev Size : 728555712 (694.80 GiB 746.04 GB) > Raid Devices : 4 > Total Devices : 4 > Preferred Minor : 2 > Persistence : Superblock is persistent > > Update Time : Sat Jan 8 17:40:20 2011 > State : clean > Active Devices : 4 > Working Devices : 4 > Failed Devices : 0 > Spare Devices : 0 > > Layout : left-symmetric > Chunk Size : 64K > > UUID : 01e2f978:88d1f867:34e1e46c:f3c01470 > Events : 0.32040050 > > Number Major Minor RaidDevice State > 0 8 35 0 active sync /dev/sdc3 > 1 8 19 1 active sync /dev/sdb3 > 2 8 3 2 active sync /dev/sda3 > 3 8 51 3 active sync /dev/sdd3 > > The actual last 64k of all the partitions in the array is all zeros. > So is the 64k up to the end of the "Used Dev Size".
