Hi all,
I'm having trouble removing a failed drive from an array.
#cat /proc/mdstat
md5 : active raid6 sdn[14](S) sdm[13](S) sdad[12] sdl[11] sdba[10]
sde[0](F) sdd[9] sdc[8] sdk[7] sdj[6] sdi[5] sdh[3] sdg[2]
15628103680 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2
[10/10] [UUUUUUUUUU]
The drive in question is sde
#mdadm --remove /dev/md5 /dev/sde
mdadm: cannot find /dev/sde: No such file or directory
The drive crashed so hard it is not visible to the kernel anymore.
# cat /proc/partitions |grep sde
<no output>
Normally in such case i do:
#mdadm --remove /dev/md5 detached
<no output>
The drive remains in the array.
Is there any other way to remove this detached drive from the array
without having to stop/start the array or is this a (known) bug?
# mdadm -V
mdadm - v3.1.4 - 31st August 2010
# uname -a
Linux supernas01 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.39-2~bpo60+1
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Kind regards,
Caspar Smit
