sdb6 is part of a mirror, yes. No loss of data so far, no failed arrays, |
9 |
nothing. |

11 |
Just that smartd-test failing last night and now I have to act. |
12 |
|
13 |
The 3 arrays are OK and also fully on tape, that's not the problem. |
14 |
|
15 |
My concern is about /dev/sdb5, which is the one and only PV inside the |
16 |
lvm2-VG VG01 (oh my, I fear Volker right now telling me about that |
17 |
LVM-stuff ;-) ). And VG01 hosts a few LVs, most of them easy to restore |
18 |
or rebuild, one of them containing around 700GBs of mythtv-recordings. |

Most of those are also on tape, but not all of them (because I run out |
21 |
of space with tapes etc). Nothing really important, sure, it's "just |
22 |
TV", but nice-to-have anyway. |
23 |
|
24 |
So I am moving stuff from that LV to another new RAID-array, just to |
25 |
save that data before sdb maybe crashes completely. |
26 |
|
27 |
In general I am rebuilding that whole box lately, adding drives etc. but |
28 |
I am not yet where I want to get because I hit one obstacle after the |
29 |
other. I suspect the power-supply to be faulty ( I also get |
30 |
chksum-errors in a zfs-fuse-pool, before and after using new disks ... |
31 |
so ...) |
32 |
|
33 |
RAM is good, at least as far memtest86+ is able to tell. |
34 |
|
35 |
*sigh* |

Thanks, Stefan |
