Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] Replace Drive in RAID6

Message-ID: <530F35A9-87FD-4850-BB9E-0E22857F178C@icloud.com> (raw)

Hello Andreas,

After deactivating each of the individual rmage and rmeta volumes I receive this error:
# lvchange -a y --activationmode degraded vg_data/lv_data
  device-mapper: reload ioctl on  (253:12) failed: Invalid argument

In messages I see the following errors:
Nov  4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: raid: Failed to read superblock of device at position 0
Nov  4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: raid: New device injected into existing raid set without 'delta_disks' or 'rebuild' parameter specified
Nov  4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:12: raid: Unable to assemble array: Invalid superblocks
Nov  4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Am I not adding the new drive to the RAID correctly? I first did a pvcreate and then a vgextend.

I was using the —rebuild option because I know which physical drive is bad. In the lvmraid man page it says —repair might not know which is the correct block to use so to use —rebuild.

Thank you,
-Adam

Hello Adam,

how exactly have you tried to activate the LV so far?

lvchange with --activationmode degraded should work, no?

Also, are you sure that --rebuild is the correct operation?

man 7 lvmraid suggest you might want --repair or --replace instead.

Best Regards
