Good Evening Folks, Alright, I have a 5 disk raid5, it's worked for years. Today a disk went "click click" and I dropped the cold spare I had in and started a rebuild. Everything was great until I checked around 35% rebuild and everything was in the toilet. Here is the current -E info. Any advise would be *amazingly* appreciated. (I can't believe I didn't just put the spare in and just go RAID5...). /dev/sda1: Events : 25952 this 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 0 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 4 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 5 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdb1: Events : 25944 this 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 0 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 1 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 4 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 5 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdc1: Events : 25952 this 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 0 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 4 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 5 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 /dev/sde1: Events : 25952 this 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 0 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 4 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 5 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdf1: Events : 25952 this 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 0 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 4 4 8 1 4 active sync /dev/sda1 5 5 8 81 5 spare /dev/sdf1 -- ~~~~~~~~~ He hates these cans-- 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
