Manage disk redundancy in console
« on: January 04, 2006, 07:56:00 AM »
Hi,

I've got the following output in the manage disc redundancy screen

Code: [Select]
 │ Current RAID status:                                                     │
  │                                                                          │
  │ Personalities : [raid1] [raid5]                                          │
  │ md2 : active raid5 sdc2[2] sdb2[1] sda2[0]                               │
  │       488182784 blocks level 5, 256k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]      │
  │                                                                          │
  │ md1 : active raid1 sdc1[2] sdb1[1] sda1[0]                               │
  │       104320 blocks [3/3] [UUU]                                          │
  │                                                                          │
  │ unused devices: <none>                                                   │
  │                                                                          │
  │                                                                          │
  │ One or more devices is not RAID1                                         │
  │                                                                          │
  │ Manual intervention is required.                                         │


What intervention is required? Everything seems happy to me. Or is it merely saying this because my root partition is raid 5?

my dell4400 does the same if I try to set it up using raid 5, notice md2 showing raid 1 & 5, and md1 only raid 1.
Also the amount of blocks on md1 is a lot less than on md2.

I ended up setting mine to be a plain volume and now get no strange readings, it also seems to be a lot faster ;-( without raid 5 from the perc3di.

I got the same output from my server today after I installed pre1.

Log in to the server as root and run the command

Code: [Select]
cat /proc/mdstat

I found that it was resyncing the array. After that was complete it returned to what you would normally expect it to be.
