Yesterday my server (SME 6.0.1)started reporting errors relating to one of my HDDs. Typical error messages were:
"Apr 29 01:13:45 kalmar kernel: hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Apr 29 01:13:45 kalmar kernel: hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=79506093, sector=79297248
Apr 29 01:13:46 kalmar kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:42 (hdb), sector 79297248
Apr 29 01:13:46 kalmar kernel: raid1: hdb2: rescheduling block 79297248
Apr 29 01:13:46 kalmar kernel: raid1: hdb2: unrecoverable I/O read error for block 79297248"
The Server then would not shut down cleanly and reported problems with the file system. It suggested running fsck on root which I did.
This in turn reported errors which it fixed.
It would seem that my 2nd HDD is faulty according to the above error message. I would have expected MDSTAT to show that the 2nd HDD was not being used in the array.
However, when I view MDSTAT, I get the following:
"Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors
md2 : active raid1 hda3[0] 264960 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md1 : active raid1 hdb2[1] 39776832 blocks [2/1] [_U]
md0 : active raid1 hda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/1] [U_]
unused devices: <none>"
This would suggest that md0 and md2 are on my Master HDD and md1 on the Slave. This does not seem healthy to me.
Have I understood the position correctly and, if so, how do I now replace the Slave HDD, assuming that it is faulty?
TIA
Nick
