I have a strange one here.... I've just been moving my disks around after upgrading some to 2 TB from 1 TB however after a while of rebuilding parity the system just locks up, web server goes down as does any remote session!!

 

When I look at the local console I can see it has got a constant line regarding a bad disk rolling over and over and you can not even login!!!

 

After bouncing the box I can see that one disk is marked as bad!!! After a few attempts I'm now replacing the bad disk and rebuilding from what was in parity then will update from my back up.

 

I just thought it was worth pointing out as this is strange behavior i.e. the system locking up. I've attached some pics and a MOV of the console screen and a syslog all be it after a reboot.

 

Sorry had to amend uploads due to size restrictions.

the screen shot is referring to disk4 (md4)

 

It indicates there is some file-system corruption that must be fixed by your use of the reiserfsck utility.

Thanks for you help, I'l try that later.

 

My main question was, I know this is a beta release, but would we expect the system to lock up and in such a spectacular fashion or just handle it as it would with a normal disk failure?
