Hi Neil When I try to reshape a raid0 to raid10, it'll fail like this: [root@dhcp-12-133 mdadm-3.3.2]# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1000M 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:2 0 29.3G 0 part / ├─sda3 8:3 0 512M 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 102M 0 part └─sda6 8:6 0 10.1G 0 part └─VolGroup00-LogVol00 254:0 0 9.9G 0 lvm sdb 8:16 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 2G 0 part └─sdb2 8:18 0 10G 0 part sdc 8:32 0 186.3G 0 disk ├─sdc1 8:33 0 2G 0 part └─sdc2 8:34 0 10G 0 part sdd 8:48 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sdd1 8:49 0 2G 0 part └─sdd2 8:50 0 10G 0 part [root@dhcp-12-133 mdadm-3.3.2]# mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l0 -n3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.

In the function super_1_validate, it'll set the mddev->dev_sectors using the superblock read from disks. If it's raid0, the le64_to_cpu(sb-size) is 0. So when add disk to raid10 bind_rdev_to_array return -ENOSPC. When create raid0, it doesn't write give the value to s->size. So the sb-size is 0. I modify the code about Create.c. I'm not sure whether it's right to do so. But it can resolve the problem. diff --git a/Create.c b/Create.c index 330c5b4..f3135c5 100644 --- a/Create.c +++ b/Create.c @@ -489,7 +489,7 @@ int Create(struct supertype *st, char *mddev, pr_err("no size and no drives given - aborting create.\n"); return 1; } - if (s->level > 0 || s->level == LEVEL_MULTIPATH + if (s->level >= 0 || s->level == LEVEL_MULTIPATH || s->level == LEVEL_FAULTY || st->ss->external ) { /* size is meaningful */ -- 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
