Just an update on this. After faffing around trying to recover the
failing disk, I decided to replace it and start afresh.
I formatted 2 1TB drives with ext4 and created a new md volume as
RAID1. However they are taking many hours to sync, despite being empty.
Is this normal?
Just "lurking" here since it has been a very long time since I've configured
RAID.
But I have a question. You said you're starting from scratch? Meaning adding a RAID
array as separate entity to an existing system? If that is the case, I thought the steps
would have been.
mdadm --create . . . .
and then
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/md0
That aside, is
Resync Status : 46% complete
increasing, albeit slowly?
