Package: mdadm Version: 1.9.0-1ubuntu2 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I have a 7-disk raid6 array. Two of the disks have shut down due to a flaky power supply. I rebooted the system. The degraded RAID didn't come up. $ mdadm -A /dev/md7 /dev/hd[bceijkl]1 mdadm: failed to add /dev/hdk1 to /dev/md7: Invalid argument mdadm: failed to add /dev/hdl1 to /dev/md7: Invalid argument mdadm: /dev/md7 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array. This is wrong. There are *five* working devices in that array, and in fact all of them showed up in /proc/mdstat (the array was inactive, of course). $ mdadm -A /dev/md7 /dev/hd[bceij]1 This worked. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (730, 'testing'), (620, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc1-1.20 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf 1.4.42ubuntu4 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii lsb-base 2.0-1ubuntu2 Linux Standard Base 1.3 initscript ii makedev 2.3.1-75ubuntu1 Creates device files in /dev - -- debconf information excluded -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCTq7K8+hUANcKr/kRAv4KAJ9gvMWB0D49tqgxFMEST/mqgRV/wQCgg3jS zpu6Dc4nEP4+9tBn5FfjrVk= =P7Ui -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
