RAID Disappeared

  • Hi all.


    I posted in another thread but I wasn't getting any replies so I decided to make my own thread. My system froze recently and I had to hard to reset it. Its a new system with not much on the system but I would like to get this resolved so I can continue adding drives etc.


    Below I have attached what I believe is needed (seen from other posts) but I can provide whatever else that is needed. Thanks all.

    lsmod | grep raid


    /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf


    /etc/default/mdadm

    DAMONSTER - OMV 1.8 - 42TB RAID6
    XEON 1270 v3 - 16GB SAMSUNG ECC - X10SL7-F - ANTEC 1200 - HIGHPOINT 2720 - HIGHPOINT 640L - CORSAIR RM750 -

  • I have done some googling and some interesting reads have come up so far:
    http://unix.stackexchange.com/…y-disappears-after-reboot
    http://stackoverflow.com/quest…espite-correct-mdadm-conf
    http://superuser.com/questions…-raid-vanish-after-reboot


    The current running theory from what I have read is that the drives were partitioned incorrectly from the start which is odd since I wiped them in the web interface first.


    Output of mdadm --detail /dev/md0


    Looks like /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc have fallen out for whatever reason. If anyone can help me with the command to re-add them I would appreciate it. There is some data on the array so ideally the commands would re-add the missing drives and start the array. I would like to avoid remaking the array (thus probably losing the data) if I can avoid it. :)

  • Ok.


    Small update, after two days of waiting and no replies. (I count from my original post in another thread)
    I have taken matters into my own hands.


    Things seem to have panned out but I won't know for sometime (more on that below)


    For now, to anyone with a similar problem this worked for me:

    Code
    mdadm -S /dev/md0
    mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bcdef] --verbose --force


    This made the RAID array re-appear in the Web Interface but with 3 of 5 drives. I did a reboot for good measure.


    So question to the community, this what my system is saying currently after a reboot. Is this part of a rebuild or some sort of file system check and I should just leave it?

  • Sadly this is out of my league so I can't really help. What I just do no understand is that the array won't show up with 2 drives missing - In the first post I saw u are using a raid 6? correct?


    In theory in Raid 6 your array and FS should show up just fine with 2 drives missing - did u pull them out after u recognized that they were kicked out of the array?


    Then either plug in the 2 drives which where declared as missing and it would either start rebuilding or no - if not u would have to format the drives and then plug them back in - at least then it has to rebuild!


    I am not quite sure if forcing the drives back in was a good idea..!?


    Hopefully someone can help, usually it doesnt take this long


    EDIT:
    When pluggin drives back in your new PC did u plug them in the correct order!? - i.e. drive 1 that was connected to Sata1, drive 2 to sata2 and so on. This is usually necessary so that each drive is detected as sda b c ... as in the old system - my guess is u just mixed up the 2 drives !? But still the array and FS should show up in OMV as beeing online though...mhhh


  • Thanks for posting mate, thankfully I have that part licked or at least I hope I do. Right now I am just hoping someone will let me know if that screenshot I posted is normal and I just need to wait.


    In answer to your comments, I agree its likely my data is still intact. Also at no point did I remove any physical drives so they are all still there. Thanks again for replying. :)

  • Can you post cat /proc/mdstat, what kernel are you using (uname -r) ?


    It looks like the FSCK is still running, can I run those commands whilst thats happening safely? SSH is not running at this point otherwise I would use that.

  • Yes there is no problem. That should display the components of the raid and it's state


    No dice, I am writing in commands but nothing is happening besides listing them. Do i need to do something like CTL + C to drop me back to the command line or will this kill the FSCK?

  • An you don't have ssh enabled? How are you executing the commands from the screen? You have a desktop manager?


    I have SSH enabled. I got the screenshot from IPMI which I am using. The web interface etc. hasn't started yet because its not running, nor is SSH. I assume that all starts once FSCK is done.

  • In a little under 4 hours it'll be 48 hours since the FSCK started. Is this normal, it seems like a while? Is there a way to cancel it?

  • ctrl+c can cancel it. I doubt that this long runtime is normal.

    depends on the number of files in the array/partition.



    i have had scenarios in ntfs almost taking half a day with over 20 million files

    Control + C did nothing, I pressed it a few times for good measure. :(

    I had about 3.5TB in used space but no idea on amount of files. Maybe 5000? I am going to leave it going overnight but then I may need to reboot the server. (its 8pm tonight)

  • So I hard rebooted and got the system back up. I cannot for the life of me get it to mount even though its degraded but clean.


    Any tips anyone has for mounting this before I write off my data for good I would appreciate. Thanks all. Also thanks for the help so far, I do appreciate it.

  • Fire up the systemrescuecd via cd or usb stick and give it a try. ;)

    Thanks for the tip, I did take your advice but there was multiple issues so I gave up.


    So final (I hope) update for the thread. I wiped all drives and started a new RAID6 array which failed within about 5 minutes. I then removed 3 drives from the 4 port HighPoint card and tried again. Its currently up to 25% in the build of the array. It looks like the 4 port card was the issue that caused the server to freeze and all these issues including the FSCK problems. Glad I found it early and only lost a little bit of data.


    Thanks again for everyones help.
