Hi,
I'm attempting to clean up after what is most likely a
timeout-related double device failure (yes, I know).
I just want to check I have the right procedure here.
So, initial situation was a two device RAID-10 (sdc, sdd). sdc saw
some I/O errors and was kicked. Contents of /proc/mdstat after that:
md4 : active raid10 sdc[0](F) sdd[1]
3906886656 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 far-copies [2/1] [_U]
bitmap: 7/30 pages [28KB], 65536KB chunk
A couple of hours later, sdd also saw some I/O errors and was
similarly kicked. Neither /dev/sdc nor sdd appear as device nodes in
the system any more at this point and the controller doesn't see
them.
sdd was re-plugged and re-appeared as sdg.
A mdadm --examine /dev/sdg looks like:
/dev/sdg:

(other arrays are on different devices and are not involved here)
So, I think I need to:
- Increase /sys/block/sdg/device/timeout to 180 (already done). TLER
not supported.
- Stop md4.
mdadm --stop /dev/md4
- Assemble it again.
mdadm --assemble /dev/md4
Theory being that there is at least one good device (sdg that was
sdd).
- If that complains, I would then have to consider re-creating the
array with something like:
mdadm --create --assume-clean --level=10 --layout=f2 missing /dev/sdd
- Once it's up and running, add sdc back in and let it sync
- Make timeout changes permanent.
Does that seem correct?
I'm fairly confident that the drives themselves are actually okay -
nothing untoward in SMART data - so I'm not going to replace them at
this stage.
Cheers,
Andy
