Hello,
i'm sorry to ask this questions but the raid 5 with 4 disk is in big trouble during re-assemble. 2 disks are out of order.
I have change a disk of the raid 5 (sde) to growing the raid.
But a second disk (sdc) have too many bad sector during the re-assemble, and shutdown the re-assemble.
"mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sd[bcde]1"
I have try to correct bad sectors with badblocks, but it's finished by no more spare sectors and the disk still have some bad sector.
badblocks -b 512 -o badblocks-sdc.txt -v -n /dev/sdc 1140170000 1140169336
1140169400
1140169401
1140169402

1140169405

1140169419
1140169420
1140169421
1140169422
1140169423
For information the mdadm examine return :
cat mdadm-exam.txt
/dev/sdb:
MBR Magic : aa55
Partition[0] : 1953523120 sectors at 2048 (type fd)
/dev/sdc:
MBR Magic : aa55
Partition[0] : 1953520002 sectors at 63 (type fd)
/dev/sdd:
MBR Magic : aa55
Partition[0] : 1953520002 sectors at 63 (type fd)
/dev/sde:
MBR Magic : aa55
Partition[0] : 4294965247 sectors at 2048 (type fd)
I have 2 way to solve the issue.
The first, is to have special command to pass bad sector during re-assemble as "mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sd[bcde]1"
The second is change the disk sde with the old good one, but some datas have been changed on the raid since i have remove it. But these datas are not important. It's only logs and history activity.
What can i do to recover a maximum datas without too many risk?
Thank's in advance
Best Regards

Sylvain,
I would recommend that you buy a replacement disk for the one
throwing errors and then run dd_rescue to copy as much data from the
dying disk to the replacement. Then, and only then, do you try to
reassemble the array with the --force option.
That disk is dying, and dying quickly.
Can you also post the output of
mdadm -E /dev/sd[bcde]1 for each disk, even the dying one, so we can
look at the counts and give you some more advice. Also, the output of
the mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sd[bcde]1 would also be
good. The more info the better.
Good luck!
John

Sylvain,
Always glad to help here. I'm going to try and understand what you
wrote and do my best to reply.
Is the 1Tb disk the bad disk? And if you re-insert it and re-start
the RAID5 array, you only have some minor lost files? If so, I would
probably just copy all the data off the RAID5 onto the single 3Tb disk
as a quick and dirty backup, then I'd use 'dd_rescue' to copy the bad
1Tb disk onto the new 2Tb disk.
All you would have to do is make a partition on the 2tb disk which is
the same size (or a little bigger) than the partition on the 1tb disk,
then copy the partition over like this:
ddrescue /dev/sd[BAD DISK LETTER HERE]1 /dev/sd[2TB disk letter]1 \
/tmp/rescue.log
So say the bad disk is sdc, and the good 2tb is sdf, you would do:
ddrescue /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdf1 /tmp/rescue.log
and let it go. Then you would assemble the array using the NEW 2tb
disk. Ideally you would remove the bad 1tb disk from the system when
trying to do this.
But you really do need send us the output of the following commands:
cat /proc/mdstat
cat /proc/partitions
mdadm --detail /dev/md#
do the above for the RADI5 array.
mdadm --examine /dev/sd#1
for each disk in the RAID5 array.
And we can give you better advice.
Good luck!

Hi John,
I'm sorry! I'm French and my English is poor!
Yesterday, i wrote the mail on a tablett, but my mail's provider doesn't offer plain text option on mobile site :-(
I'm back on a PC under Linux :-) (not crash this one, but not on the same site, connected by ssh to the broke system).
For the history, i have installed PC of many friends under Linux (no more Virus problem and Windows Blue Screen).
Yesterday, i have try to you explain what is the history of the issue.
The Raid was fully operational before i change the disk sde by a 3TB disk to grow the Raid, by changing all disks of the raid.
But when i have do the re-assemble the disk sdc goes burny :-(
I have keep the old sde 1TB disk in state.
The result of your asked command :
cat /proc/mdstat

Now, i have installed ddrescue on the system, and i go to my friends to add the 2TB disk in the tower, and launch the command.
Many thank's for your help and your patience.

Sylvain,
Always glad to help here. I'm going to try and understand what you
wrote and do my best to reply.
Is the 1Tb disk the bad disk? And if you re-insert it and re-start
the RAID5 array, you only have some minor lost files? If so, I would
probably just copy all the data off the RAID5 onto the single 3Tb disk
as a quick and dirty backup, then I'd use 'dd_rescue' to copy the bad
1Tb disk onto the new 2Tb disk.
All you would have to do is make a partition on the 2tb disk which is
the same size (or a little bigger) than the partition on the 1tb disk,
then copy the partition over like this:
ddrescue /dev/sd[BAD DISK LETTER HERE]1 /dev/sd[2TB disk letter]1 \
/tmp/rescue.log
So say the bad disk is sdc, and the good 2tb is sdf, you would do:
ddrescue /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdf1 /tmp/rescue.log
and let it go. Then you would assemble the array using the NEW 2tb
disk. Ideally you would remove the bad 1tb disk from the system when
trying to do this.
But you really do need send us the output of the following commands:
cat /proc/mdstat
cat /proc/partitions
mdadm --detail /dev/md#
do the above for the RADI5 array.
mdadm --examine /dev/sd#1
for each disk in the RAID5 array.
And we can give you better advice.
Good luck!

Did the reshape or replacement of /dev/sde 1tb work fine to the 3tb
disk? It's not clear to me, and I want to be safe. But I think you
should be able to do the --assemble --force command once the dd_rescue
has finished from the bad disk onto the new disk.
Then I would also seriously think about moving to RAID6 for your data
as well. It's cheap insurance when you have lots of important data
and such to keep.

Hello,
It's my fault too, because the mailing list doesn't accept HTML format.
And my provider doesn't offer plain text option with the mobile site :-(
Back to the issue :
I have stop the raid.
mdadm --stop /dev/md2
mdadm: stopped /dev/md2
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
unused devices: <none>
And when i try to re-assemble, the command is aborting :
mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sd[bcde]1
mdadm: /dev/md2 assembled from 2 drives and 1 spare - not enough to start the array.
The command wan't re-acquire the sdc1 device :
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md2 : inactive sde1[4](S) sdd1[2](S) sdb1[5](S)
4101001112 blocks super 1.2
unused devices: <none>
Many thank's for your help.
Best Regards
Sylvain Depuille

I think you first need to stop the array, to make sure all the devices
aren't in use. Have you looked through the archives of this list for
previous examples?
So you should be able to do:
> mdadm --stop md2
> mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
and send the output. You should also be replying to the mailing list
as well, which I just noticed you haven't. My fault too!

So if I look at the event counts, there's a mismatch between
/dev/sd[bde]1 and /dev/sdc1. So let's try to assemble without /dev/sdc1:
mdadm -vv --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sdb1 missing /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
and see what happens then. With three out of the four devices, the
RAID5 array should start up, and then you can add in /dev/sdc1 to
rebuild the parity.

Hi John,
I do the summary of disk and states :
/dev/sdb : 1TB : OK
/dev/sdc : 1TB : ??
/dev/sdd : 2TB : ddrescued
/dev/sde : 3TB : Not synchronized
Something is wrong in this list.
It seems that i have remove a wrong disk.
I should investigate with my friends tomorrow evening for us, afternoon for you.
I will on the road tomorrow.
And it is may be free for you?
I wish you a good eve for this evening, and see you next year ;-).
Best Regards

Sylvain> But the missing disk is the rescued disk!
I understand that, but we're looking to get the RAID5 up and working
again, but the event count looks wrong on that disk, so it shouldn't
be used to re-assemble the array.
There is going to be some data loss here, but let's minimize it and
get the array going again.
Sylvain> And the 3TB should be rebuild, because i have change It just
Sylvain> before the issue :-(sorry iPhone in French)
I think it's ok, since the other three disks have matching event
counts. It's the /dev/sdc1 that's behind the rest, so it needs to be
excluded at first.
Try it out and let me know.

It might be that is the problem. One thing to do is to run 'smartctl'
on all the disks and get the UUIDs/serial numbers so you can confirm
which disk is which.
The 'lsscsi' is also useful to help make sure you know which drives
are mapped to which drive letter, since they can move around. But if
you do get a chance, try what I suggested, which is to assemble with
just three of the drives. Maybe don't even hook up /dev/sdc1 at all
to the system.

Hello,
Happy New Year and received all my best wishes for 2015.
i'm back to home.
Now, the failed raid is at 700km (~400 miles) :-( I should work only by phone and ssh to repair the Raid.
We have changed the right disk and the raid is rebuilding. I wille write you when it's finished.
Many many thank's for your help and your patience.
I have a question to migrate Raid 5 to Raid 6 :
This site http://www.ewams.net/?date=2013/05/02&view=Converting_RAID5_to_RAID6_in_mdadm describe the right cookbook?
I don't want re-do this bad Story.
Thank's in advance.
Best Regards.

Hello,
First good news of the year : the dirty Raid is online.
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md2 : active raid5 sdc1[3] sdd1[2] sde1[4] sdb1[5]
2930276352 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
bitmap: 0/8 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk
Many thank's for your help.
Now, i have unmounted all filesystems and do e2fsck on all.
With ext4, it's running very quickly, and no errors found. Is it reliable?
But it's may be not your part? ;-)
Thank's in advance
Best Regards

You can force ext4 to do a more thorough check if you like with:

and it will force a check, even if everything looks to be ok.

My real suggestion to you is to now collect all the information you
can on the system, including drive serial numbers, and how they map to
each device and member of the RAID array. Sometimes when a system
reboots, or you add new disks, things get re-arranged and you don't
notice at first. And that leads you down the wrong path quite
quickly.

It looks right to me. But I would also suggest that you look through
the archives of this list, and make sure you have a newer version of
the mdadm tool before you try to do this.
I would also suggest that you add two new disks, one to be used as a
hot spare, and the other used to grow the array into a RAID6.
Then go through and make sure that all your drive timeouts are set
properly on system boot, so that if a disk hangs when trying to
re-read a bad block, it won't cause it to be kicked out of the array
too quickly. Again, check the recent archives (last three months of
2014) of the list for examples and discussions of this issue.
Good luck!
John

Sylvain, a nice script for documenting device serial numbers,
partitions, RAID memberships etc can be found here:

Hello,
the raid is completly operationnal.
I take linux up to date with emerge Gentoo stable each day or each week.
I know the attribute pv_timeout on SAN with HP-UX, but not with Linux.
I haven't find the discussion over this point with Google.
Could you help me to find the thread on that?
PS: could i write what's your explain me on my wiki http://wiki.depuille.net/index.php/Accueil (it's a French Unix tricks/memorendum Wiki)?
Thank's in advance.
Best Regards
Sylvain Depuille

It sucks having to work at a distance like this.

My real suggestion to you is to now collect all the information you
can on the system, including drive serial numbers, and how they map to
each device and member of the RAID array. Sometimes when a system
reboots, or you add new disks, things get re-arranged and you don't
notice at first. And that leads you down the wrong path quite
quickly.

It looks right to me. But I would also suggest that you look through
the archives of this list, and make sure you have a newer version of
the mdadm tool before you try to do this.
I would also suggest that you add two new disks, one to be used as a
hot spare, and the other used to grow the array into a RAID6.
Then go through and make sure that all your drive timeouts are set
properly on system boot, so that if a disk hangs when trying to
re-read a bad block, it won't cause it to be kicked out of the array
too quickly. Again, check the recent archives (last three months of
2014) of the list for examples and discussions of this issue.
Good luck!
John

Hello,
thank's for the tricks.
I have modify the #! as #!/usr/bin/python2 because i have python 2.7 and 3.3 as default on my PCs.
I keep this script on my PCs, and the output ;-)
Thank's a lot.
Best Regards
