Moin! May I ask a question on this list, or is this strictly for development? Thanks, Stephan My qustion is how to translate sector numbers from a RAID6 as in > Aug 2 01:32:28 falbala kernel: md8: mismatch sector in range 1460408-1460416 to ext4 inode numbers, as in > debugfs: icheck 730227 730355 730483 730611 > Block Inode number > 730227 30474245 > 730355 30474245 > 730483 30474245 > 730611 30474245 Is there a list, channel, matrix room for this kind of questions? Are there tools to do what I need? Is the approach below sensible? It is a RAID6 with six drives, one of them failed. A check yielded 378 such mismatches. I assume the sectors count from the start of the `Data Offset`. `ext4 block numbers` count from the start of the partition? Is that correct? The failed drive has >3000 unreadble sectors and became very slow. #! /usr/bin/gawk -f BEGIN { SS = 512 CS = 0x80000/SS BS = 4096/SS N = 4 } /mismatch sector in range/ { split($11,A,/-/); S = A[1]; M = S%CS; C = S/CS; B = (C*N*CS + M)/BS printf "icheck" for (i=0; i<N; i++) printf " %u", B + i*CS/BS printf "\n" } /dev/sda3: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x1 Array UUID : d58e68a2:7d9e9218:1bb61653:c295ae02 Name : falbala:8 (local to host falbala) Creation Time : Wed Aug 20 12:23:51 2014 Raid Level : raid6 Raid Devices : 6 Avail Dev Size : 5440837632 (2594.39 GiB 2785.71 GB) Array Size : 10881675264 (10377.57 GiB 11142.84 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=262064 sectors, after=0 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 16ee808f:9cf5420e:270cc442:db7768b6 Internal Bitmap : 8 sectors from superblock Update Time : Mon Aug 2 09:27:57 2021 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 24 sectors Checksum : 2b557999 -
