We have a critical system that has Redhat 8.0 installed. The system
uses the older raidtools not mdadm. We are in the process of rebuilding
a new box, but in the meantime we have a software raid issue. The
system had to be rebooted and we ended up with the following raid
problem:
cat /proc/mdstat shows:
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md1 : active raid1 hda2[0]
119684160 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md2 : active raid0 hda3[0] hdb2[1]
208640 blocks 64k chunks
md0 : active raid1 hda1[0] hdb1[1]
264960 blocks [2/2] [UU]
Looks like we have a problem with md1 device which is the / partition.
lsraid -A -a /dev/md1 shows:
[dev 9, 1] /dev/md1 C27DAE7E.7C02AF01.5143DCC8.62FD07C3
online
[dev 3, 2] /dev/hda2 C27DAE7E.7C02AF01.5143DCC8.62FD07C3 good
[dev ?, ?] (unknown) 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000
missing
The applicable section of /etc/raidtab is:
raiddev /dev/md1
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb3
raid-disk
It seems that /dev/hdb3 has issues. Is there a way to get /dev/hdb3
back online. Can you do something with raidhotadd:
raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/hdb3
This is a very critical system and I want to make sure we don't do
anything that would totally bring the system down, at least until we can
build a new system. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
