First, I had [====>................] check = 22.5% (1321310068/5860390400) finish=3442.7min speed=21973K/sec and to recover from that mark, I have to echo 2642620136 > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_min In other words, 1321310068 is not the number you feed to sync_min, you have to double it. Then, you said I should take my LBA from # 2 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 293 1287409520 and multiply it by 4. Does it really mean I should have used 8? I used 1287000000 * 4 5148000000 1288000000 * 4 5152000000 echo 5144000000 > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_min echo 5160000000 > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_max And the sync ran without tripping the bad block. Worse (kinda), the resync just hung once it reached 5160000000. I had to force idle to stop it. For what it's worth, the finish counter is also based on the last block of the drive, and not the value of sync_max. Minor bugs/problems? Ok, so I tried again by doubling the value: echo 10296000000 > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_min echo 10304000000 > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_max echo check > /sys/block/md7/md/sync_action This does not seem to have helped either. I'm now stuck on: Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [multipath] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md7 : active raid5 sdf1[0] sdg1[5] sdd1[3] sdh1[2] sde1[1] 23441561600 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/5] [UUUUU] [=================>...] check = 87.9% (5152000000/5860390400) finish=1977.2min speed=5970K/sec bitmap: 1/44 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk Sync has reached max and is hung there, but without triggering the bad block. Mmmh, hitting this LBA reported in smart seems harder than it seemed. I've just reset it to running the whole disk and hope it'll hit the bad block eventually.
