OMV does not boot when all RAID drives are connected

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I was using OMV4 until a couple days ago, but my RAID 5 with 4 hard drives was not showing up in my OMV configurations any longer.

    I then upgraded (reinstalled) to OMV5, but my RAID is still not showing up.

    I tried to fix it through mdadm assebmling and it actually went through successfully (at least it looked that way to my newbie eyes), but as I tried to restart the machine, it would not even finish booting up. It gets stuck after init ramdisks with 4 errors "ataX: softreset failed (device not ready)".

    As soon as I unplug one of the drives it shows only 3 errors and finishes booting afterwards.

    These three drives (plus my SSD) show up in OMV gui "Disks".

    Thanks macom for the clarification. I was a little confused.

    I have booted my OMV with only 4 drives (3 HDD plus SSD with the OS) instead of all 4 RAID HDDs as it does not finish booting with 4 HDDs.

    Used RAID HDDs:

    TOSHIBA DT01ABA3 (3tb, 3 drives)

    Seagate IronWolf NAS HDD (3tb, one drive)

    I was a little confused.

    That was my fault I thought I had copied the link in, with the above it clearly shows the raid as inactive, the concern might be why the fourth drive is causing an issue.


    mdadm --stop /dev/md127 mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md127 /dev/sd[abc]

    Result:

    Code
    root@nas-Jonathan:~# mdadm --stop /dev/md127
mdadm: stopped /dev/md127
    Code
    root@nas-Jonathan:~# mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md127 /dev/sd[abc]

mdadm: /dev/sdb is identified as a member of /dev/md127, slot 2.
mdadm: /dev/sdc is identified as a member of /dev/md127, slot 1.
mdadm: added /dev/sdc to /dev/md127 as 1
mdadm: added /dev/sdb to /dev/md127 as 2
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 3 of /dev/md127
mdadm: added /dev/sda to /dev/md127 as 0
mdadm: /dev/md127 has been started with 3 drives (out of 4).

    The reboot afterwards took about 10-15 minutes, but it did succeed.

    The RAID does still not show up in the OMV gui "RAID management" though.

    WHY!!!! did I say reboot, at this present moment, you nor I have no idea what is going on, quite frankly 10-15 mins is a very, very serious issue. The assemble should have rebuilt the array, if it was doing that and you rebooted I have no idea what's happened.

    OK, I will leave it running then from now on.

    When it was rebooting the reboot was not going through because of a task that was blocked. I am not too sure whether that task was finished or terminated after 10-15 minutes.

    As sdX names changed, I altered the assemble command as well.

    Sorry, my English got a little rusty over the years.

    I have left the system running over night (14 hours +) and the state has not changed yet. The command is still pending.

    Any advice on how long I should leave it like that before giving up?

    Zitat von geaves

    When you say pending what is it displaying, TBH that --readwrite option should be instantaneous, but having no idea what else is happening that is why I said leave it.

    It has not shown anything after I executed the command nor can I input any new commands as it is (apparently) still processing the readwrite command.

    It looks like this at the moment:

    Code
    root@nas-Jonathan:~# mdadm --readwrite /dev/md127
"empty line with flashing symbol"
