Hello all, I have, well had, a RAID-6 with 8 drives. I went to add an additional drive. At about 98% complete the system locked up completely and had to be rebooted. One of the SATA controllers seems to have failed and the 3 drives connected to it were relocated to different controllers.As a result, those 3 drives were marked as failed. The new drive being added was sdg. It was added successfully, but I wanted to --grow the array to include it as an array device rather than a space. Here is the --explain output for all the drives, post reboot. (prior to removing them from the failing controller). ################# /dev/sdb: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.91.00 UUID : 2390bb2c:13899501:227fac17:e5d68dde Creation Time : Tue Jun 25 01:53:47 2013 Raid Level : raid6 Used Dev Size : 976762496 (931.51 GiB 1000.20 GB) Array Size : 6837337472 (6520.59 GiB 7001.43 GB) Raid Devices : 9 Total Devices : 9 Preferred Minor : 0 Reshape pos'n : 6743555840 (6431.16 GiB 6905.40 GB) Delta Devices : 1 (8->9) Update Time : Sun Feb 23 21:29:06 2014 State : active Active Devices : 6 Working Devices : 6 Failed Devices : 3 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : eb8f49b9 -
