[SOLVED] RAID1 unexpected md0_resync

Hi Folks,

I've been running a 1TB RAID1 array for a good few months without issue and have never seen the mdo_resync and md0_raid1 processes running before. Does this indicate a problem and if so, how can I diagnose it?

I'd previously booted with a kernel panic. I then rebooted and fsck'd all my drives, rebooted again and here we are.

Re: [SOLVED] RAID1 unexpected md0_resync

resync != rebuild

I wondered about the same thing once after I had to do a hard reset. resync just checks if the RAID data is still consistent, so it's basically a "RAID fsck". wink
In other words, usually nothing to worry about... wink

Re: [SOLVED] RAID1 unexpected md0_resync

Thanks 65kid.

So what's triggering this resync? I can't find anything under /etc/cron* or /etc/systemd.

Edit: Is this applicable?

Re: [SOLVED] RAID1 unexpected md0_resync

You said it yourself, you had a kernel panic, so the RAID was not cleanly shut down. This forces a resync on the next boot.

Re: [SOLVED] RAID1 unexpected md0_resync

I'm positive I've had other unclean shutdowns whilst running this array and not seen this resyncing before. I'll take your word for it though, it does make sense.

I've not noticed this before but it seems I've been getting the "Failed unmounting /media/Array" mentioned previously at every shutdown!
