Hello,
I am new to MDADM and have just experienced my first device fail on my
raid 6.
I am wondering if someone might be able to help by outlining a proper
protocol for troubleshooting and rebuilding this array (proc/mdstat
below).
Here is how I might approach it:
- remove the device
- test the device
- if the device tests OK then re add the device
- if the device fails, then replace the device
- resync
Thank-you for your consideration.
Best,
- Justin
Here is the mdstat email

running on BigBlue
A Fail event had been detected on md device /dev/md0.
It could be related to component device /dev/sdh1.
Faithfully yours, etc.
P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid6 sdh1[5](F) sdg1[4] sdf1[3] sde1[2] sdd1[1] sdb1[6]
sdc1[0]
14650666880 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/6]
[UUUUU_U]
unused devices: <none>
