data degraded, however resync completed

I was upgrading other devices drives and I swapped a good working drive in my ultra 4 (6.6.1), the volume resynced completed, however then it says degraded.

 

All drive lights are green on the volume page.

 

No disk errors are on the log.

 

I powered down, let it sit a few minutes, then booted up, with the same data degraded, no errors in the logs.

 

I started a scrub, which is progressing very slowly, and I am beginning to regret.

 

I would pull and re-add the recently added drive, however I don't want to assume that is the drive which is causing the degrade.

 

Now that I started the scrub, I am unable to download the logs (yeah I should have done that first...).

 

My questions are:

 

How can I safely stop the scrub that is in progress?

 

How do I determine what/which drive is causing the volume to be degraded? (no errors in logs, all drives are green on the volumes page)

 

 

  • Sounds like removing disk 3 and readding it after a minute would be the way forward, yes.

    It's weird that it failed to rotate the journal when there is so much free space on the 4GB root volume.

  • well i found the answer to the scrub, there is an X on the progress bar that will stop the scrub.

     

    i was also able to download the logs and I'm looking through them to see if anything stands out

     

    I got ~2k lines of this;

     

    [Tue Jan 10 19:06:06 2017] systemd-journald[1349]: Failed to write entry (19 items, 549 bytes), ignoring: Input/output error

    which doesn't look good

      Physical disk 3 is the one I had swapped, both disks are good, I just swapped a seagate 4tb to a hitachi 4tb, all disks are now hitachi 4tb.

       

       

      From mdstat.log

      It looks like I am missing disk 3 (sdc4) on md126?

      So, safe to remove, wait a minute, then re-add disk 3 ?

       

      Or should I run some command to force resync on md126 ?
