Thread: RAID-6 cannot start degraded array
hello all,
ubuntu server 11.04 i386.
i've used linux on , off years in small doses, i'm @ newbie level.
running openfiler nas, decided give ubuntu+webmin try. , 'til i've been happy progress.
have set raid-6 array using 5 x 1tb sata drives.
i've ensured array in "clean" state, , want failure testing.
problem occurs when remove 1 of drives in array. shutdown, remove drive, boot up. array wont start @ all, , comes error during boot:
if wait, nothing happens.the disk drive /mnt/raidvol1 not ready yet or not present
continue wait; or press s skip mounting or m manual recovery
raid array should start in degraded mode, fails mount @ all.
when press "m" go manual recovery , type "mount -a" response:
i have set boot_degraded=true in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm without success.mount: special device /dev/raidvg1/raidlv1 not exist
if reconnect disconnected drive, array works fine, , in clean state.
appreciated!
nev
