Hi, i has got following question:
There is fresh installation of CentOS 6.2 with software raid 5 configured with anaconda, and it is degraded from the beginning (although it has spare device)
/dev/md1:
Version : 1.1
Creation Time : Wed Jun 20 09:59:33 2012
Raid Level : raid5
Array Size : 975744000 (930.54 GiB 999.16 GB)
Used Dev Size : 487872000 (465.27 GiB 499.58 GB)
Raid Devices : 3
Total Devices : 4
Persistence : Superblock is persistent
Intent Bitmap : Internal
Update Time : Wed Jun 20 14:40:27 2012
State : active, degraded
Active Devices : 2
Working Devices : 4
Failed Devices : 0
Spare Devices : 2
Layout : left-symmetric
Chunk Size : 512K
Name : mail:1 (local to host mail)
UUID : 4df78011:4219ff72:edb6c4f9:a18ad234
Events : 1605
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2
1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2
4 8 34 2 spare rebuilding /dev/sdc2
3 8 50 - spare /dev/sdd2
/proc/mdstat doesn't show that raid is rebuilding.
Seems to me there is something wrong, but i don't know what should be done in this situation. All disks are working.
