hi, it's been a few weeks since rhel/centos 5.4 released and there were many discussion about this new "feature" the weekly raid partition check. we've got a lot's of server with raid1 system and i already try to configure them not to send these messages, but i'm not able ie. i already add to the SKIP_DEVS all of my swap partitions (since i read it on linux-kernel list that there can be mismatch_cnt even though i still not understand why?). but even the data partitions (ie. all of my servers all raid1 partitions) produce this error (ie. ther mismatch_cnt is never 0 at the weekend). and this cause all of my raid1 partitions are rebuild during the weekend. and i don't like it:-( so my questions:
- is it a real bug in the raid1 system?
- is it a real bug in my disk which runs raid (not really believe since
it's dozens of servers)?
- the /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check is wrong in rhel/centos-5.4?
or what's the problem? can someone enlighten me? thanks in advance. regards.
Hi. I have this problem on my 2 servers (Both Centos 5.4) - every weekend my raid1 set is rebuild, because
mismatch_cnt is never 0 at the weekend. What is really going on ? My 1TB disk whith raid1 are rebuild every weekend.
They aren't being rebuilt, they are being checked if the data on the RAID disks are consistent. There are various reasons why mismatch_cnt can be higher than 0, for example aborted writes. Generally it's not really something to be worried about if you have for example a swap partition in your RAID array. If you do a repair and then a check the mismatch_cnt should reset to 0.
Has anybody make bugzilla this ?
I don't think so, this is a feature, not a bug... And as long as it's shipped with upstream it'll be shipped with CentOS.
Best regards,
