MDADM RAID 6 Bad Superblock after reboot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi there,

After attempting to add a GPU to a VM running on a CentOS 7 KVM host I
have, the machine forcibly rebooted. Upon reboot, my /dev/md0 raid 6 XFS
array would not start.

Background:

Approximately 3 weeks ago I added 3 additional 3TB HDD's to my existing
5 disk array, and grew it using the *raw* disks as opposed to the
partitions. Everything appeared to be working fine (raw disk was my
mistake, as it had been a year since I had expanded this array
previously, simply forgot steps) until last night. WHen I added the GPU
via VMM, the host itself rebooted.

Unfortunately, the machine has no network access at the moment and I can
only provide pictures of text from whats displayed on the screen. The
system is booting into emergency mode and its failing because the
/dev/md0 array isn't starting (and then NFS fails, etc).

Smartctl shows no errors with any of the disks, and mdadm examine shows
no superblocks on the 3 disks I added before. The array is in the
inactive state, and it shows only 5 disks.

To add to that, apparently I had grown the cluster while SELinux had
been enabled as opposed to permissive - so there was a audit log of
mdadm trying to modify /etc/mdadm.conf. I'm guessing it was trying to
update the configuration file as to the drive configuration.

Smartctl shows each drive is fine, and the first 5 drives have equal
numbers of events. I'm presuming the data is all still intact.

Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks!
