Tetrodotoxin Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Hi, I recently picked up a disk shelf, and have been trying to add a disk attached to the shelf, but the machine just hangs on 'starting array' checking the log I see : Mar 7 19:31:25 outland root: mount: /mnt/disk7: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md7p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

I'm using one of these bad boys https://www.ebay.com/itm/386752571587 , and the shelf is is a dell md1200, Oddities about this setup: - I'm using a convertor to take the SFF-8643 to SFF-8088 - The shelf has 2 controllers that I am daisy chaining the SFF-8088 to, insteaad of both being connected to my raid card. Additionally checking DMESG shows that the disk is constantlly flipping between /dev/sdm and /dev/sdn: root@outland:~# dmesg | grep sdm [ 56.873300] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] 19134414848 512-byte logical blocks: (9.80 TB/8.91 TiB) [ 56.876230] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] 4096-byte physical blocks [ 56.882537] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] Write Protect is off [ 56.889065] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] Mode Sense: f7 00 10 08 [ 56.896967] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA [ 56.905427] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] Enabling DIF Type 2 protection [ 56.918114] sdm: sdm1 [ 56.922539] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdm] Attached SCSI disk [ 108.699968] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 108.699973] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 128.124674] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 128.124691] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 134.177892] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 134.177897] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 140.295105] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 140.295111] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 146.060933] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 146.060938] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 152.038044] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdm 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 152.038052] md: import disk7: (sdm) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 root@outland:~# dmesg | grep sdn [ 56.935445] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] 19134414848 512-byte logical blocks: (9.80 TB/8.91 TiB) [ 56.941179] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] 4096-byte physical blocks [ 56.947633] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] Write Protect is off [ 56.954130] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] Mode Sense: f7 00 10 08 [ 56.961326] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA [ 56.970797] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] Enabling DIF Type 2 protection [ 56.983893] sdn: sdn1 [ 56.986229] sd 12:0:2:0: [sdn] Attached SCSI disk [ 125.141249] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 125.141254] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 131.109276] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 131.109281] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 137.078648] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 137.078653] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 143.185257] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 143.185265] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 149.031202] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 149.031210] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 [ 155.048059] mdcmd (8): import 7 sdn 64 9567207372 0 HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 [ 155.048066] md: import disk7: (sdn) HUH721010AL5104_7PGP84LG_35000cca24116b288 size: 9567207372 root@outland:~# Unfortuneately it got far enough in the process to cause a disk to be created, and now I'm plus a drive I can't fill. Please also see attached diagnostics. Not really sure what could be causing this, but it's clearly isolated to the disk shelf. the thing that throws me off is that I can mount and write with unassigned disks, mdcmd must be doing something it doesn't like. If the daisy chain were the problem, I imagine I wouldn't have been able to pre-clear the device @ 245 Mb/s... Any advice would be appropriated, (Or a suggestion if I should figure out how to remove the un joinable disk slot first) outland.azaroth.phila-diagnostics-20240307-1950.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted March 8 Solution Share Posted March 8 Mar 7 19:30:11 outland emhttpd: device /dev/sdm problem getting id This means one of the devices is being detected twice, make sure there's only only cable from the shelf to the controller. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tetrodotoxin Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Thanks Jorge, That was it, Removing the daisychain from the controllers, and only connecting 1 controller allowed me to mount disks on the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment
