Hello all. I have a strange issue when trying to rebuild my raid1 array. One disk is operational and my laptop is running fine with the degraded raid1, but when I add a second disk, this disk wont get synced. md0 is mounted ad /boot and running with /dev/sdb (my new SSD), /dev/sda is my HDD I want to add. Below is some system info you might need. Please help, this is making my raid unusable (eg there is no raid when you use just one single disk ;) ) Thilo Molitor # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb2[2] sda2[0] 204736 blocks [2/1] [U_] [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (128/204736) finish=6394.0min speed=0K/sec # mdadm -E /dev/sda2 /dev/sda2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 8024b3b6:76520e88:9d4deba6:47ca997f Creation Time : Wed Nov 6 01:55:24 2013 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 204736 (199.97 MiB 209.65 MB) Array Size : 204736 (199.97 MiB 209.65 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Fri May 23 21:08:34 2014 State : clean Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 1 Spare Devices : 1 Checksum : 2ab6fe80 - correct Events : 3009 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 0 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 1 1 0 0 1 faulty removed 2 2 8 18 2 spare /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 8024b3b6:76520e88:9d4deba6:47ca997f Creation Time : Wed Nov 6 01:55:24 2013 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 204736 (199.97 MiB 209.65 MB) Array Size : 204736 (199.97 MiB 209.65 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Fri May 23 21:08:34 2014 State : clean Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 1 Spare Devices : 1 Checksum : 2ab6fe8e - correct Events : 3009 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 2 8 18 2 spare /dev/sdb2 0 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 1 1 0 0 1 faulty removed 2 2 8 18 2 spare /dev/sdb2 # ps -A -f | grep md0_resync root 311 2 0 Mai19 ? 00:00:07 [md0_resync] # cat /proc/311/stack [<ffffffff81066a90>] process_timeout+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff81068057>] msleep+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffffa01ec791>] md_do_sync+0x9b1/0xcd0 [md_mod] [<ffffffff81093362>] load_balance+0x1c2/0x840 [<ffffffffa01e9637>] md_thread+0xf7/0x110 [md_mod] [<ffffffffa01e9540>] md_thread+0x0/0x110 [md_mod] [<ffffffff8107b8c1>] kthread+0xc1/0xe0 [<ffffffff8107b800>] kthread+0x0/0xe0 [<ffffffff814a944c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff8107b800>] kthread+0x0/0xe0 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff # uname -a Linux laptop 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.10-1 (2014-04-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux -- 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
