Hi,
I was doing some testing with an Ubuntu 10.04 installation (Linux
2.6.32, so my apologies if this has been noted and dealt with already),
and I noticed what I think may be a bug.
I had a system with RAID10, layout n2, where /dev/sda is one of the
devices, and the other is "missing". I wanted to add /dev/sdb to the
RAID10 array. Both drives are on their last legs (bad sectors and
stuff), and I was just doing a proof of concept for a guide I was
writing, so I didn't care.
Here are the relevant dmesg messages for the drives detected:
====================================================
ata1.00: ATA-5: IC35L040AVER07-0, ER4OA44A, max UDMA/100
ata1.00: 80418240 sectors, multi 16: LBA
ata1.01: ATA-6: Maxtor 94610H6, BAC51KJ0, max UDMA/100
ata1.01: 90045648 sectors, multi 16: LBA
====================================================
On the system, ata1.00 is an IBM drive (/dev/sda), and ata1.01 is a
Maxtor drive (/dev/sdb). I have RAID10 (/dev/md0) on ata1.00 (/dev/sda)
and one "missing" device. I added the Maxtor (ata1.01, /dev/sdb), and
during the sync, an error occurred on ata1.00, which is the first disk
of the RAID10 array (the IBM, /dev/sda). However, mdadm wrongly reports
that an error has occurred on the device I had just ADDED (the Maxtor):
====================================================

====================================================
The relevant lines are the ones that show the errors on ata1.00 (the
IBM), and then the line which reports disk failure on /dev/sdb (ata1.01):
raid10: Disk failure on sdb, disabling device.
