Well, the last rebuild attempt onto an identical disk as the rest also
failed, with the exact same error as below. <sigh>
Does anybody have anything wise and pertinent to say about this?
Especially given that an identically "broken" raid managed to recover and
finish a resync.
Anything that could be done in situ?
I guess not, though.
So I would be probably looking at:
1. Remove the broken raid as backing device for the DRBD on top of it,
thankfully this is the secondary node. Pray that primary node doesn't
fail while doing the next steps.
2. Stop the raid and re-create it. Now what if that gives me the exact same
broken result? It certainly did it happily four times before...
3. If I manage to somehow get a sane looking result, make sure that it can
recover from disk failures. So looking at at least 2 days of testing and
more praying that the primary doesn't fail.
4. Assuming that the resulting raid is smaller than the current one, shrink
the file system (impossible to do while mounted, or so the resize2fs
documentation suggests). Downtime, ouch. Potential do eat all babies in
the vicinity, double ouch.
5. Shrink the DRBD device accordingly, more gnashing of teeth and
sacrificing of goats to keep the data destroying demons at bay.
6. Re-attach the new and sane raid as backing device to DRBD. Wait another
day for things to sync up.
7. Do a failover (downtime...) and heal the now secondary backing raid on
the other node.
8. Repeat 4-7 for the other DRBD resource and raid pair.
