JustinAiken Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I just turned off the machine to put a new drive in... Shut down cleanly, inserted drive, turned it back on... now the array won't start: Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (116): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdk 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (117): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdj 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (118): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdh 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (119): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdd 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (120): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdf 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (121): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdg 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (122): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdc 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower emhttp: shcmd (123): /usr/local/sbin/set_ncq sdb 1 >/dev/null Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower kernel: mdcmd (90): start STOPPED Dec 1 17:15:17 Tower kernel: md: do_run: lock_rdev error: -6 Dec 1 17:15:18 Tower emhttp: shcmd (124): rm /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 Dec 1 17:15:18 Tower emhttp: shcmd (125): cp /etc/exports- /etc/exports Dec 1 17:15:18 Tower emhttp: shcmd (126): killall -HUP smbd Dec 1 17:15:18 Tower emhttp: shcmd (127): /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd restart | logger Any ideas?

Rajahal Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Are you adding a new drive, or replacing a dead one? Have you assigned the new drive to the appropriate slot on the Devices page? Is the new drive precleared or otherwise trustworthy? Is your PSU large enough to power all your drives? Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I didn't do anything with the drive besides plug it in - it was not part of the array. I was planning on telneting in to preclear it. My PSU should be sufficient, it's a 850W single-rail Corsair, this was only drive 10 to be plugged in. I tried turning the machine off, removing the new drive, and turning it on again; still getting the same thing. If I telnet it and manually create a directory in the mnt folder, and mount a disk into it, I can see all my data across the drives... It's just clicking "start array" that gives me the error message above. Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Also, all drives are green, no errors reported. Link to comment
mbryanr Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Check your bios settings, in particular the sata controller settings (RAID, etc) Quick search find you are not the first with this error. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=8120.0 Joe may know http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6247.msg60614#msg60614 Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks for the links mbryanr... Looks like my disk5, aka sdf, isn't working... If I "ls -l /mnt/sd*" then I see that all of my drives have sdX1 EXCEPT for sdf. If I go to devices and unassign disk5 (it's a jumpered WD EARS), then the array starts fine in simulation mode. I do have a precleared spare in the machine I could rebuild to... should I do that and RMA the WD drive? Or should I try some reisermagic on it first? Link to comment

First, I would check all cabling, connections, etc. Then a smart test on disk 5; then ask for further assistance! Others with experience can guide you along the way. Since disk 5 was working before the shutdown...it is unlikely something happened to it during that short period. Reisermagic should be performed as a last resort. Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I think Limetech needs an official large facepalm icon... I had just knocked a disc loose... after reseating it, it was redetected. It change the sdx assignment though... had to do that scary initconfig thing... Now it is running okay, all my files are there... tonight I'll run a parity sync while the new drive preclears... Link to comment
