Hey everyone, I've been hacking at this on and off for a couple days and am clearly in a little over my head. :(
I set up a raid 5 with 3 disks a few years ago and have had no problems until we had a power outage last week. I rebooted and md0 wouldn't come online. I didn't save the error message, but it said the superblock was bad. I did some research and decided to force assembly.
Hello,
I get some errors on Quantal shutdown, killing all process failed then /var is still busy and umount failed. So on startup /var isn't clean.
I couldn't find in logs more information, rsyslogd seems stopped before this error occured.
Thank you.
I'm trying to create a Raid array and these are the errors I keep getting.
Want to create LV Group but when i unmount /dev/sda5 this showing
[root@xen01 ~]# umount /dev/sda5
umount: /: device is busy
umount: /: device is busy
This means disk /dev/sda5 is busy and due to this i can't create phsical,logical volume on this disk.
[root@xen01 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sda5
Can't open /dev/sda5 exclusively.
Tried to look for similar cases but can't find anything similar.
I had a system with 4 disks:
OS debian:
- /dev/sda
RAID:
- /dev/sdb
- /dev/sdc
- /dev/sdd
The old system disk crashed, so I installed a new one and retried to resync the array.
It took two hours to resync the RAID, but I'm unable to mount it.
I want to set up software RAID-1 on my Ubuntu system, and found this example of an /etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
I would however like the path to the raid device to be /raid.
I have a Linux mdadm RAID 10 array comprising of 6 (SATA) disks configured with n2 copies.
While pulling out one disk, another one in another mirror pair failed.
Hi all,
I'm working on a project to spin-down all of my hard drives (except the boot disk) when they aren't accessed. I'm running a fresh install of 9.10 and I have the following set of drives:
/dev/sda1 -- boot
/dev/sdb1 -- HDS 500GB member of md0 raid 0
/dev/sdc1 -- SEA 500GB member of md0 raid 0
I have a 5-disk Intel RAID 5 along with a 6th boot disk with /, /boot, and swap.
What I was planning to do was mount the Intel RAID partitions (which I've added with fdisk) so that the 6th disk /home, /var, /srv, etc. link to the RAID on the other 5 disks.
