Hello,
I have a c5 box with a 6 drive raid 6 array.
I was going away over Christmas so I was shutting the machine down, I noticed a raid resync (on the raid 6 array) so i stopped it, using the command
# echo "idle" > /sys/block/md5/md/sync_action
then shut the machine down.
A week later I turned the machine on and started copying data to it around 24 hours later a raid resync occurred and wiped all the new data I had copied to it.
To me this seems broken, is it because I manually stopped a previous resync that it got in this state?
Any ideas?
As for log messages there is nothing in the /var/log/messages file, only
Jan 2 19:38:39 bolivia kernel: md: syncing RAID array md5 Jan 2 19:38:39 bolivia kernel: md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 1000 KB/sec/disc. Jan 2 19:38:39 bolivia kernel: md: using maximum available idle IO bandwidth (but not more than 200000 KB/sec) for reconstruction.
no other errors or anything.
Thanks Nathan
