I hope the problem is solved! Make sure you do not run dmraid and mdadm ! So, if you have truble mdadm RAID, check you do not run dmraid ! I found this. /etc/rcS.d/S04dmraid /etc/rcS.d/S25mdadm-raid /etc/rc0.d/S50mdadm-raid /etc/rc0.d/S51dmraid /etc/rc6.d/S50mdadm-raid /etc/rc6.d/S51dmraid They is now like this /etc/rcS.d/K04dmraid /etc/rcS.d/S25mdadm-0-sata_sil_slowdown /etc/rcS.d/S25mdadm-raid /etc/rc0.d/S50mdadm-raid /etc/rc0.d/K51dmraid /etc/rc6.d/S50mdadm-raid /etc/rc6.d/K51dmraid I also make this just before mdadm_raid start to set the "15" block write. /etc/init.d/sata_sil_slowdown just to make it a bit safer. --- #!/bin/sh # chmod 0644 /sys/modules/sata_sil/parameters/slow_down echo 1 > /sys/modules/sata_sil/parameters/slow_down chmod 0444 /sys/modules/sata_sil/parameters/slow_down # exit 0 ---I have now, during I write this, run a testcopy for 29hrs, still running copytest without errors. Before it shuld got in ro-mode. :-)
Hi, I need some support for this soft-raid system.I am running it as RAID5 with 4 samsung spinpoint 500G SATA300 tot 1.3T byteAnd it runs in http://sm7jqb.dnsalias.com I use mdadm sytem in a Debian Linux CPU 1.2Mhz 1G memory ( my older 433Mhz / 512M dont work at all )I have 'some courrupt' data.
