(all the detailed info is at the end of this email) I could use some expert help... I started with a RAID-5 array of 5 x 6TB WD RED drives, and 1 x 6TB Seagate Ironwolf drive. This has been running well for a long time as a 5-drive array, and was grown to a 6 drive array a few months ago by the addition of the ironwolf drive. No known issues. ### devices in order: 0 1 2 3 4 5 DRIVES="sdj sdg sdf sdq sdc sdh" I purchased 3 x 8TB WD Red drives, and used parted to set them up as GPT, with a single partition that fills the drive. I then added them to the array in the usual fashion: ~# mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdi /dev/sdk /dev/sdl so now I had an array with three spares: ### device in order: ### 0 1 2 3 4 5 S S S DRIVES="sdj sdg sdf sdq sdc sdh sdl sdi sdk" I thought it was time to move from RAID-5 to RAID-6, given the increasing number of drives. So I did: ~# mdadm --grow --level=6 --raid-devices=7 --backup-file=/root/raid5backup so now 7 active and 2 spares, and the reshape starts: ### device in order: ### 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S S DRIVES="sdj sdg sdf sdq sdc sdh sdl sdi sdk" However, the reshape comes to a screeching halt at about 2.9GB in, with the reshape process consuming 100% of one thread (on a 16 thread box), but otherwise not apparently doing anything useful. After several hours, nothing had changed, so time to intervene. I rebooted it and restarted the reshape: ~# mdadm --grow --continue --backup-file=/root/raid5backup looking at /proc/mdstat, mdadm --examine and --detail output showed no activity again (over time). Checking the status of mdadm-grow-continue@md0.service shows it had failed and wasn't running, so I guess that's not surprising. So I stopped the array and rebooted again. After consulting Google, stopping the array and reassembling it was the next thing to try. It did reassemble, but complained about the absence of metadata, despite being passed the /root/raid5backup file. Turns out it's 20975616 bytes of zeros. Great :( Trying --invalid backup gave the same result. After some more reading, the advice at this point was not to panic, and to seek expert help on linux-raid mailing list. so here I am. As you'll see below, all drives, superblocks, et al. appear to be in a consistent state. No drives have failed. I seem to have the correct mapping of raid device -> linux block device (and it 'looks familiar'). The superblocks on the partitions appear to be consistent with having started a reshape to go to RAID-6. Just looks like the reshape process choked and span its wheels, and the 'backup file' mechanism also failed. What should I try next? Thanks for reading this far. A little sage advice would be greatly appreciated. - Paul p.s. I've done large reshapes before without issue; has mdadm regressed, or did I hit a corner case I haven't hit before? Following this script is its output on the system in question. It's missing the output of lsdrv (sorry), but it has multiple problems running on my system, and I'm not proficient enough with python to fix them all. ___________________the script___________________ #!/bin/sh ### in active device order: ### 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S S DRIVES="sdj sdg sdf sda sdc sdh sdl sdi sdk" echo "####### /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ######\n" cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf echo "\n####### /proc/mdstat ######\n" cat /proc/mdstat for drive in ${DRIVES} do echo "\n###### /dev/${drive} ######\n" smartctl -H -i -l scterc "/dev/${drive}" mdadm --examine "/dev/${drive}" mdadm --examine "/dev/${drive}1" done # multiple problems running this - skipped # /opt/lsdrv/lsdrv ___________________the script's output follows___________________ ####### /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ###### # mdadm.conf # # Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file. # # by default (built-in), scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) and all # containers for MD superblocks. alternatively, specify devices to scan, using # wildcards if desired. #DEVICE partitions containers # automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system HOMEHOST <system> # instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts MAILADDR root # definitions of existing MD arrays ARRAY /dev/md/md0 metadata=1.2 UUID=a8ef01be:af3b5d36:1960b7fa:0e32129d name=vm.bod.org:md0 spares=2 ####### /proc/mdstat ###### Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] md0 : inactive sdc1[5](S) sda1[4](S) sdl1[9](S) sdj1[0](S) sdg1[1](S) sdf1[3](S) sdh1[6](S) sdk1[8](S) sdi1[7](S) 58604036751 blocks super 1.2 unused devices: <none> ###### /dev/sdj ###### smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.13.4-1-pve] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Red Device Model: WDC WD60EFRX-68MYMN1 Serial Number: WD-WX11D741AYF7 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 260273712 Firmware Version: 82.00A82 User Capacity: 6,001,175,126,016 bytes [6.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Rotation Rate: 5700 rpm Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ACS-2, ACS-3 T13/2161-D revision 3b SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Fri Nov 24 18:01:48 2017 PST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
