First, run a check on your array, to minimize the chance of a read error during the copy: echo "check" >/sys/block/md*/md/sync_action While that's running, send me the output of "lsdrv", which will let me give advice with real device names: wget -O /usr/sbin/lsdrv http://github.com/pturmel/lsdrv/raw/master/lsdrv ; chmod 755 /usr/sbin/lsdrv ; lsdrv Phil -- 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
