With that kernel I guess it's quite old? Try and get a CentOS 8.5 disk. At the end of the day, the version of linu= x=20 doesn't matter. What you need is an up-to-date rescue disk. Distro/whatever is unimportant - what IS important is that you are using = the=20 latest mdadm, and a kernel that matches. The problem you have sounds like a long-standing but now-fixed bug. An=20 original CentOS disk might be okay (with matched kernel and mdadm), but=20 almost certainly has what I consider to be a "dodgy" version of mdadm. If you can afford the downtime, after you've reverted the reshape, I'd tr= y=20 starting it again with the rescue disk. It'll probably run fine. Let it=20 complete and then your old CentOS 7 will be fine with it.
