I've now got SUSE 10.2 set up with RAID and LVM on my server. However, I don't seem to be able to re-add a "failed" drive, without rebooting. The drives are hot-swapable. When I use the command mdadm /dev/md0/ -add /dev/sdxx I get a "device busy" error message. Even removing the drive with the --remove option, before the add command doesn't help. I still have to reboot to add the drive. Is there something I'm missing?
If a drive/partition is marked as "failed", you need to remove it from the RAID first with:
Sorry - forgot this: mdadm --manage --set-faulty /dev/mdx /dev/sdxx
mdadm --manage --remove /dev/mdx /dev/sdxx
Then you can add it again with:
mdadm --manage --add /dev/mdx /dev/sdxx
Hope it helps.
tnx jk
