Hello
I have a CentOS 6.6 Server with 13 disks in a RAID 6. Some weeks ago, i upgraded
it to 17 disks, two of them configured as spare. The reshape worked like normal
in the beginning. But at 69% it stopped.
md2 : active raid6 sdj1[0] sdg1[18](S) sdh1[2] sdi1[5] sdm1[15] sds1[12]
sdr1[14] sdk1[9] sdo1[6] sdn1[13] sdl1[8] sdd1[20] sdf1[19] sdq1[16] sdb1[10]
sde1[17](S) sdc1[21]
19533803520 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 1024k chunk, algorithm 2 [15/15]
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]
[=============>.......] reshape = 69.0% (1347861324/1953380352)
finish=46103134.8min speed=0K/sec
I already tried to stop the raid and start it again, the reshape will start but
stop again after some minutes. If I reboot the server, the reshape won't
start:
md2 : active raid6 sdj1[0] sdg1[18](S) sdh1[2] sdi1[5] sdm1[15] sds1[12]
sdr1[14] sdk1[9] sdo1[6] sdn1[13] sdl1[8] sdd1[20] sdf1[19] sdq1[16] sdb1[10]
sde1[17](S) sdc1[21]
19533803520 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 1024k chunk, algorithm 2 [15/15]
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]
resync=PENDING
Just if I restart the raid again, it will start the reshape process and stop it
like above.
In dmesg and messages logs I just found:
dmesg

So i fixed the stripes:
cat /sys/block/md2/md/stripe_cache_size
16384
But the reshape is still not working and the same error still appears in the
logs.
Have anyone some idea?
