Title: Manage disk redundancy in console
Post by: Alex Schaft 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?

Please report all issues with the 7.0beta series to the bug tracker, and only there. Thanks.

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.
