Hi! I could reduce the problem to "--bitmap internal": It works if I leave it out. Unfortunately the RAID will fully resync every assembly when there was an unclean shutdown. The thing that kept one device busy was MD-RAID itself: "mdadm -- stop" released the device. So to summarize: 1) mdadm fails to set up an internal bitmap 2) Even when mdadm fails to do 1), it starts the array
OK. First up, the syntax is "--bitmap=internal" - perhaps you have a mdadm which is partially parsing what you've said but not got it 100% right. If using the correct syntax doesn't work, instead try creating the array without the bitmap, then adding one with
mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --bitmap=internal Cheers, John. -- 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
