The raid5 md device is created by the disks which we don't use the total size. For example, the size of the device is 5G and it just uses 3G of the devices to create one raid5 device. Then change the chunksize and wait reshape to finish. After reshape finishing stop the raid and assemble it again. It fails. mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l5 -n3 /dev/loop[0-2] --size=3G --chunk=32 --assume-clean mdadm /dev/md0 --grow --chunk=64 wait reshape to finish mdadm -S /dev/md0 mdadm -As The error messages: [197519.814302] md: loop1 does not have a valid v1.2 superblock, not importing! [197519.821686] md: md_import_device returned -22 After reshape the data offset is changed. It selects backwards direction in this condition. In function super_1_load it compares the available space of the underlying device with sb->data_size. The new data offset gets bigger after reshape. So super_1_load returns -EINVAL. sb->data_size is updated in md_finish_reshape. So add md_finish_reshape in end_reshape.
