Hi all, I hope to reshape a RAID10 (near,2) with 2 failed and physically removed members [_U_U] into a RAID1 hopefully [UU], for the benefit of seeing a healthy status. Is following proposed invocation correct? mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --level=1 Details: root@mencius $ mdadm --query --verbose --detail /dev/md2 /dev/md2: Version : 1.1 Creation Time : Fri Jul 15 22:56:53 2011 Raid Level : raid10 Array Size : 1944916992 (1854.82 GiB 1991.59 GB) Used Dev Size : 972458496 (927.41 GiB 995.80 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Tue Feb 25 22:00:46 2014 State : active, degraded Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : near=2 Chunk Size : 512K Name : localhost.localdomain:2 UUID : 971ee8b2:8d980355:0e5dfae9:c8bccd89 Events : 5326341 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 0 0 0 removed 1 8 19 1 active sync /dev/sdb3 2 0 0 2 removed 3 8 3 3 active sync /dev/sda3 root@mencius $ uname -a Linux mencius 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 28 16:14:04 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@mencius $ mdadm --version mdadm - v3.2.6 - 25th October 2012 Thanks, -- Charles Polisher -- 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
