Public bug reported: I'm running a server machine with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed as RAID1. $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [...] /dev/md1 482495704 50322380 407856944 11% / /dev/md0 186555 60819 116104 35% /boot [...]
This worked well until I added a hot swappable IDE drive. AfterI installed the additional IDE drive I powered the machine up without problems. I did not mount any partition of this drive but "fdisk /dev/sdb" showed the partitions on this drive as expected. When I removed the swappable drive one partition of the RAID1 drives was disabled as well: [ 2259.642911] ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [ 2259.643041] ata1.01: cmd 25/00:08:68:59:1c/00:00:1d:00:00/f0 tag 0 dma 4096 in [ 2259.643054] res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [ 2259.643130] ata1.01: status: { DRDY } [ 2259.643249] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2264.841449] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2269.700106] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2269.700184] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2299.861884] ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) [ 2299.861926] ata1.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x5) [ 2299.861948] ata1.01: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2299.862014] ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [ 2304.870541] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2310.069057] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2314.927727] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2314.927806] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2345.089504] ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) [ 2345.089544] ata1.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x5) [ 2345.089566] ata1.01: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2345.089632] ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [ 2350.098151] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2355.296723] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2360.155350] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2360.155428] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2390.317147] ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) [ 2390.317189] ata1.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x5) [ 2390.317211] ata1.01: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2390.317278] ata1.01: disabled [ 2390.838537] ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40) [ 2390.838575] ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2390.838640] ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [ 2395.845722] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2401.044150] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2405.902816] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2405.902895] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2436.124561] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) [ 2436.124603] ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) [ 2436.124625] ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2436.124691] ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs [ 2441.133225] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2446.331733] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2451.190404] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2451.190482] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2481.412208] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) [ 2481.412251] ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) [ 2481.412274] ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [ 2481.412481] ata1.00: disabled [ 2482.281909] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2487.480456] ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) [ 2492.339127] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 2492.339204] ata1: soft resetting link [ 2492.510749] ata1: EH complete [ 2492.510912] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [ 2492.510947] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 488397160 [ 2492.510972] Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 61049645 [ 2492.511092] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [ 2492.511121] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 973040792 [ 2492.511173] md: super_written gets error=-5, uptodate=0 [ 2492.511200] raid1: Disk failure on sda2, disabling device.

Basically the RAID1 was only running on one disk (sdc). I added both partitions on sda to the RAID again which triggered the rebuild on sda as expected. Conclusion: I looks like hot swappable IDE drives cannot be used with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS if there are RAID devices used! I'm not sure if this is related to bug 12519 but if so, there should be a fix for 8.04 LTS! $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 $ uname -a Linux gate 2.6.24-22-server #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 19:14:19 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- RAID1 array affected by non-RAID swappable IDE disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
