Disk in array show as Unmountable

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

Today I just found out 1 of my disks (sdg) suddenly show as unmountable in array.

 

I'm assuming no data lost at this point. But unsure what is the best option to proceed.

 

Can anyone help guide me here?

 

Regards,

 

diag log attached.

Edit: the log above I got from stop and start array in maintenance mode. The go through problem disk and run the "Check Filesystem Status".

 

I see the "fix" button after ran the check. So in this case this button will fix the file system and make it mountable again without any data lost. Am I correct?

Run it again without -n

  • Author

I'm assuming the 'fix' button is the same with running xfs_repair without -n. So I pressed it and it's now show

Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
        - zero log...
ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to
be replayed.  Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before
re-running xfs_repair.  If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use
the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair.
Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount
of the filesystem before doing this.

 

This time the button is change to something like clear the log so I'm assuming the button will do the xfs_repair -L. So I pressed it and now the log show

But when I try stop and start the array again. It show drive as "Device is disabled, content emulated"

Disk should mount now, post new diags with the array started in normal mode, not maintenance mode.

  • Author

Ok, yeah it seem the problem drive is actually empty to begin with. I think I'm good to go now.

 

Thanks for help! JorgeB
