Hello,
I have problems rebuilding RAID1 array. The bios shows status
'Rebuild' and 'Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within
the operating system'.
When I try to do 'atacontrol rebuild ar0':
atacontrol: ioctl(IOCATARAIDREBUILD): Device not configured
From the output below, assuming the system is running OK, the RAID
doesn't need rebuilding. The BIOS is just confused about the state
of the array, it will probably still boot from it OK.
Yes, it boots OK but the RAID need rebuilding. This status is result
of disconnecting the second disk, booting, create some files and then
reconnect the second disk. [etc]
OK. You need to follow the steps in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/raid.html
section 18.4.3. Be careful to detach/reattach the right disk :-)
When the rebuild has finished you may find that the BIOS doesn't
realize the array has been rebuilt, but that may not matter (much).
After rebuilding the bios shows 'Normal' status. It seems that the
ata-raid driver can't detect when the array need rebuilding.
Thanks for your help
