Hi,
I am running 3.2.0 (ubuntu 12.04). My raid5 has 3 disks (sd[cbd]1) and no
spares. The system boots off a non-raid device and auto discovers and
mounts the raid device.
For some reason, sdc1 is not automatically detected and is always missed
on each boot. I have to re-add it back. What could be causing this?
This did not happen while I was running 2.6.38.
Unless you can get back to that kernel and the problem goes away, that's likely
to be irrelevant.
If this only happens on power cycle I would suspect a slow spin-up on one drive,
otherwise that's not it. Be any chance is that drive, and only that drive, set
to spin down when not in use?
Check partition types. That shouldn't be an issue, but check anyway.
Have you run SMART on the drives? Ignore this idea if you don't see the problem
when booting off the old kernel. Just because you changed software and the
problem occurred, don't completely rule out hardware, or a subtle config problem.
