Drive appears as unformatted after failed parity build! [SOLVED!]

Featured Replies

I removed a drive from my array after doing a parity check to make sure all the drives were OK.

 

After removing the drive, obviously I needed to do an "initconfig" which invalidates parity. I then started the parity build, but there was a problem I hadn't noticed -- unRAID had mounted two drives, but it could not write to them and they were showing at a temperature of "0". There were a ton of errors on the unRAID main page.

 

So, I stopped the parity build, then attempted to stop the array. It wouldn't stop. I waited for a while, then got impatient and powered down. Which may have been a mistake...

 

On powering up, unRAID found all the drives correctly, but now is showing one as unformatted! Disaster!

 

Should I do a reiserfsck? Help, please!  :-\

 

Syslog attached.

 

EDIT: These lines in the syslog look bad:

 

Jan 15 18:31:00 Tower kernel: REISERFS warning (device md2): sh-2006 read_super_block: bread failed (dev md2, block 16, size 4096)
Jan 15 18:31:00 Tower kernel: REISERFS warning (device md2): sh-2021 reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on md2

Yes, follow the steps in the wiki for checking file systems.

Thanks Joe. Here's the result:

 

root@Tower:~# umount /dev/md2
umount: /dev/md2: not mounted
root@Tower:~# reiserfsck --check /dev/md2
reiserfsck 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com)

*************************************************************
** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and  it fails **
** please  email bug reports to [email protected], **
** providing  as  much  information  as  possible --  your **
** hardware,  kernel,  patches,  settings,  all reiserfsck **
** messages  (including version),  the reiserfsck logfile, **
** check  the  syslog file  for  any  related information. **

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/md2
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have
bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you
get one bad block  that the disk  drive internals  cannot hide from
your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become
much higher  (precise statistics are unknown to us), and  this disk
drive is probably not expensive enough  for you to you to risk your
time and  data on it.  If you don't want to follow that follow that
advice then  if you have just a few bad blocks,  try writing to the
bad blocks  and see if the drive remaps  the bad blocks (that means
it takes a block  it has  in reserve  and allocates  it for use for
of that block number).  If it cannot remap the block,  use badblock
option (-B) with  reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly.

bread: Cannot read the block (2): (Input/output error).
