Thread: spare not rebuilding?


hi all,

had couple of goes @ this, decided might smarter ask around bit before drastic.

had recent issues server - 9.10, running in hosting center (so have no direct hardware access).

smartmon showed issues, triggered short test - , drive bugged out, taking down whole server (which worried me bit supposed raid 1)

rebooting saw 1 of 2 drives, , main data partition @ state "spare" , not available service in degraded state.

hardware reset brought original life, checked , in rebuilding state:

now, when first started this, began rebuild spare - slowly, eta 15 hours live with. however, after 6% of rebuild, rebuild counter in /proc/mdstat vanished , mdadm -monitor logged rebuild complete, wasn't.

clues? trying not have box down long (as live server) here things thought of trying:

1) fsck on /dev/md2 rescue cd re-attempt rebuild

2) dd /dev/sda3 --> /dev/sdb3

3) fail , remove sdb3; build new array (with 1 prefailed) on sdb3, mount both , md2 (via rescue cd) , cp -r md2->new volume

have taken offsite backups, rather not have rebuild machine scratch restore them... suggestions or thoughts on plans above?
