Hi,
I have a 3 disk RAID 5 array that I tried to add a 4th disk to.
> mdadm --add /dev/md6 /dev/sdb1
> mdadm --grow --raid-devices=4 /dev/md6
This operation started successfully and proceeded until it hit 51.1%
> cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5]
[raid4] [multipath] [faulty]
md6 : active raid5 sda1[0] sdb1[5] sdf1[3] sde1[4]
3906764800 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
[==========>..........] reshape = 51.1% (998533632/1953382400)
finish=9046506.1min speed=1K/sec
bitmap: 0/15 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk
It has been sitting on the same 998533632 position for days. I've
tried a few reboots, but it never progresses.
Stopping the array, or trying to start the logical volume in it hangs.
Altering the min / max speed parameters has no effect.
When I reboot and resemble the array the speed indicated steadily
drops to almost 0.
> mdadm --assemble /dev/md6 --verbose --uuid 90c2b5c3:3bbfa0d7:a5efaeed:726c43e2
I haven't tried anything more drastic than a reboot yet,
Below is as much information as I can think to provide at this stage.
Please let me know what else I can do.
I'm happy to change kernels, kernel config or anything else require to
get better info.
Kernel: 4.4.3
mdadm 3.4
> ps aux | grep md6
root 5041 99.9 0.0 0 0 ? R 07:10 761:58 [md6_raid5]
root 5042 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D 07:10 0:00 [md6_reshape]
This is consistent. 100% cpu on the raid component, but not the reshape

Looking at the individual disks I can see minor activity on the MD6
members. This activity tends to match up with the overall rate
reported by /proc/mdstat
