For several weeks my Raid1 array is constantly degrading on Tumbleweed. Running two HDDs, one of them is suddenly inactive. Re-adding is no problem. What I did so far:
- Backup as usual an hoping that things change due to some kind of regression being sorted out via update. - Checking several logs with help of the forum. I could not find a single hint of what is going on - even with running "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=4M" on both HDDs. - Changing SATA cables.
Please find a more detailed description on what has been done via this link: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/577384-Raid1-array-constantly-deg...
last time I had this several years ago, I swapped SATA cables which helped for some time. Did you try other power cables to serve the disks? Maybe there are some very short power outages due to the plug(s) not being reliably connected anymore.
Would highly appreciate any suggestions how to sort this out.
HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
