I had a disk failure recently and replaced the drive. After
partitioning and such I added my new drive into my Raid 1 and waited for
the rebuild to complete.
It's been running for about 36 hours trying to rebuild a ~140GB Raid 1,
which seems a bit long to me.
What's even stranger, is a reboot causes the new disk to be complete
removed from the Raid 1 set. And I have to rebuild all of my
partitions, not just the ~140GB.
Here is 'cat /proc/mdstat' as it currently sits:
----
[sean@home-desk ~]$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sda1[1]
1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md1 : active raid1 sdb2[0] sda2[1]
4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md2 : active raid1 sdb3[2] sda3[1]
151043008 blocks [2/1] [_U]
[==>..................] recovery = 10.5% (15941760/151043008)
finish=52.3min speed=42986K/sec
unused devices: <none>
----
Where md0 is /boot, md1 is swap and md2 is /
sdb is the new disk, sda is the running disk. If I reboot the machine
sdb disappears completely.
Any ideas out there?
Sean
