Has a power failure at a site today and the UPS batteries ran out. Had
some strange problems on restart, and I realize two disks are missing
from the RAID6 volume:
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2
1 8 34 1 active sync /dev/sdc2
2 0 0 2 removed
3 0 0 3 removed
The weird part is that all four disks show active (sda2, sdb2, sdc2,
sdd2) in fdisk, but when I try to add one of the missing disks to the
array, it shows all three busy:
mdadm --assemble --run --force --update=resync /dev/md0 /dev/sda2
/dev/sdc2 /dev/sdb2
State : active, degraded
Active Devices : 2
Working Devices : 2
Failed Devices : 0
Spare Devices : 0
Any pointers on the correct ray to resync the array?
Thanks!
Lee
