| |
| − | === Look at the mdstat ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First we must determine which drive is in default.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [root@sme8-64-dev ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
| |
| − | Personalities : [raid1]
| |
| − | md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
| |
| − | 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | md2 : active raid1 sdb2[2](F) sda2[0]
| |
| − | 52323584 blocks [2/1] [U_]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | unused devices: <none>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (S)= Spare
| |
| − | (F)= Fail
| |
| − | [0]= number of the disk
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{note box|As we can see the partition sdb2 is in default, we can see the flag: sdb2 [2] (F). We need to resynchronize the disk sdb to the existing array md2.}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Fail and remove the disk, '''sdb''' in this case ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --fail /dev/sdb2'''
| |
| − | mdadm: set /dev/sdb2 faulty in /dev/md2
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --remove /dev/sdb2'''
| |
| − | mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb2
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --fail /dev/sdb1'''
| |
| − | mdadm: set /dev/sdb1 faulty in /dev/md1
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb1'''
| |
| − | mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb1
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Do your Disk Maintenance here ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At this point the disk is idle.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [root@sme8-64-dev ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
| |
| − | Personalities : [raid1]

| |
| − | {{note box|You'll have to determine if your disk can be reinstated at the array. In fact sometimes a raid can get out of sync after a power failure but also some outages times for physical disk itself. It is necessary to test the hard drive if this occurs repeatedly. For this we will use '''smartctl'''.}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For all the details available by SMART on the disk
| |
| − |
| |
| − | smartctl -a /dev/sdb
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At least two types of tests are possible, short (~ 1 min) and long (~ 10 min to 90 min).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | smartctl -t short /dev/sdb #short test
| |
| − | smartctl -t long /dev/sdb #long test
| |
| − |
| |
| − | to access the results / statistics for these tests:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdb
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Note box|if you need to change the disk due to physical failure found by the smartctl command, install a new disk of the same capacity (or more) and enter the following commands to recreate new partitions by copying them from healthy disk sda.}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sfdisk_sda.output
| |
| − | sfdisk /dev/sdb < sfdisk_sda.output
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you want to reintegrate the same disk without replacing it, go to the next step.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Add the partitions back ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb1'''
| |
| − | mdadm: hot added /dev/sdb1
| |
| − | [root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdb2'''
| |
| − | mdadm: hot added /dev/sdb2
| |

| |
| − | === Another Look at the mdstat ===
