Hi everybody, It looks like one of my disks in my RAID1 just failed: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdc1[1](F) sdb1[0] 976629568 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_] unused devices: <none> and # mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Sun May 17 15:21:30 2015 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 976629568 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Used Dev Size : 976629568 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Mon Aug 3 16:13:56 2015 State : clean, degraded Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 1 Failed Devices : 1 Spare Devices : 0 Name : eprb21:0 UUID : 0901fe50:444a29b6:d3caff14:e45ef9cc Events : 7619 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 17 0 active sync /dev/sdb1 1 0 0 1 removed 1 8 33 - faulty /dev/sdc1 Looks like there’s something wrong with /dev/sdc1: # mdadm --examine /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 0901fe50:444a29b6:d3caff14:e45ef9cc Name : eprb21:0 Creation Time : Sun May 17 15:21:30 2015 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 2 Avail Dev Size : 1953259520 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Array Size : 976629568 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Used Dev Size : 1953259136 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 3e6d5330:3ee6ef06:2acf46ad:44513d37 Update Time : Mon Aug 3 16:14:32 2015 Checksum : d474a441 - correct Events : 7627 Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : A.

The file system seems to be ok for the time being: # fsck -n /dev/md0 fsck from util-linux 2.21.2 e2fsck 1.42.6 (21-Sep-2012) Warning! /dev/md0 is mounted. Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check. /dev/md0: clean, 218192/61046784 files, 213484777/244157392 blocks Are there any other tests I could run in order to figure out what’s going on? It looks like I will have to replace /dev/sdc1 with a new hard drive. What is the correct procedure to do so without loosing my data?
