Running into a problem and not sure what I'm doing wrong. Created a software raid 10 array. Everything seems to be normal except that if you take the array down and run e2fsck on it there are always errors, mostly all little stuff and it recovers without losing any data.
I'm running the latest OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18. I'm not sure if this is a factor or not as the problem occurs without starting any VEs. The problem will happen most all the time. I can format the partition, put the data on it then shut it down and run 2efsck and there will be some errors to fix. In the past after running for weeks the raid array will unexpectedly go inti read only mode due to the errors. After running e2fsck it will run normal again. I've never used raid 10 before (stripes on top of 2 mirrors) so I don't have anything to compare this with. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I am using ACL and dir_index attributes. If I run e2fsck twice in a row it comes up with no errors he second time. However if I mount the /dev/md2 device and then immediately umount it and run e2fsck again I get some errors. Here's a run I did just mounting and unmounting immediately. e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 17172774, i_blocks is 8304, should be 19272.
