Hello guys,
I have been using md raids for quite a long time now and it always
worked fine, until recently when I upgraded some hardware on my
workstation. Unfortunately the hardware I changed proved itself to be
very unstable, and I encountered a lot of hard lockups of the system
while running. Those lockups recently made one of my raid 1 array
fails with the infamous error message "mdXX: bitmap superblock UUID
mismatch".
Here is what I have found in the kernel logs when I try to activate
the given raid group:
-----------------
md/raid1:md126: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors
md126: bitmap superblock UUID mismatch
md126: bitmap file superblock:
magic: 6d746962

chunksize: 524288 B
daemon sleep: 5s
sync size: 248075584 KB
max write behind: 0
md126: failed to create bitmap (-22)
-----------------
Such error messages are displayed each time I try to run the raid
group. Content of /proc/mdstat is:
-----------------
md126 : inactive sdb6[0] sda6[1]
496151168 blocks
-----------------
If I try to examine both disks with mdadm -E it shows some checksum
mismatch for both partitions:

So you certainly do have some sick hardware!!!
I suggest that you find some hardware that you can trust,
mount one of the two devices ( (sdb6 or sda6) ignoring the raid stuff,
and copy data off to the device that you trust.
Then start again.

Hi,
Nice catch for the 1 bit difference, I didn't see it. My point
regarding bitmap reconstruction was because this raid was used in a
LVM setup. the LVM partition used two distinct raid 1 disks, and I was
not able to start the LVM correctly without this failing raid.
In the end, I was able to save my LVM by simply skipping the raid 1
and using directly one partition. The LVM tool was clever enough to
detect the MD bits and proposed me to remove them in order to mount
directly the partition, and it worked fine. Thus I was able to save my
data.
Thanks for your answer though.
Regards,
Reynald

Wow, that's cool. I suppose RAID1 is simple enough for this to be
possible, though. Still, cool. :-)
