 |
|
Hi,
I'm migrating my system to a RAID 1 setup by following this howto on Gentoo wiki. I succeeded in booting from my RAID array, but at the moment there's only one disk (partition) in the array, so I now want to add the second one and that's where things go wrong. The array is stuck in the recovery process at 1.0%.
Setup is the following: I got two disks, hda and hdc. Both disks have different partitions, hda1 and hdc1 are the boot partitions, hda5 and hdc5 are the root partitions. hda1 and hdc1 form one RAID 1 array (md1), hda5 and hdc5 form another RAID 1 array (md5).
Following the guide, I first put only hdc1 and hdc5 in the RAID arrays. I was able to boot my system and then added hda1 to array md1. Monitoring mdstat, I then saw that the array was under recovery, which ended pretty quickly. No problem here.
| Code: | # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md1 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0]
40064 blocks [2/2] [UU] |
I then tried to do the same for md5:
| Code: | | # mdadm /dev/md5 -a /dev/hda5 |
And now md5 is stuck in the recovery process:
| Code: | # cat /proc/mdstat
md5 : active raid1 hda5[2] hdc5[1]
10008384 blocks [2/1] [_U]
[>....................] recovery = 1.0% (108416/10008384) finish=18.2min speed=9034K/sec |
It's been in this stage for over ten minutes now. Any ideas? Btw, the partition type for md5 is reiserfs, maybe that's got something to do with it.
Tia,
Steven |
