Re-adding parity drive with known correct data
Hi,
I recently experienced a HBA failure that caused a bit of havoc on my array, causing one of my parity drives to fail, and one of my data drives. At first I did not realize this was a HBA issue and attempted to rebuilt the data drive off my existing working parity drive, then once that was done rebuild my 2nd parity. This did not work
The issue I then ran into was the whole HBA failing causing write errors to all drives, before I could rebuilt my failed data drive and
OK, if the disk failed mid rebuild you can use the invalid slot command:
-Tools -> New Config -> Retain current configuration: All -> Apply
-Assign any missing disk(s)
-Important - leave the browser on that page
-Open a SSH session and type:
mdcmd set invalidslot 5 29
-Do not check the "parity is already valid" and start the array, disk5 will rebuild and parity2 re-sync
