Just a question- did this “RESYNC_IN_PROGRESS” ever finish? how long did you have to wait?
I lost my patience after a few hours, rebooted, pressed Ctr+C went into LSI configuration, and clicked on

After that, I rebooted, and it instantly came up with:
ioc0 vol_id 0 type IM, 2 phy, 136 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 0 SEAGATE ST3146855LC D506, 136 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE
ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 1 SEAGATE ST3146855LC D506, 136 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE

So I wonder if this RESYNC_IN_PROGRESS is real, or it just never finishes?

Hello,

What do you do to break your RAID mirror?

Can you give me a hint how to rebuild the raid? I’m running a remote server with the same LSI h/w raid and one hdd is marked as ‘failed’ and flagged ‘OUT_OF_SYNC’.
As mpt-status is just a status, which tools can be used to rebuild the raid?

Thx,

Oliver

The version that came with SuSE would not give any output (or even an error) when you run it. The version I finally got working was version 1.1.6 and had to be built from source.

Can you give some details on how exactly the version of mpt-status coming with Suse was failing, and how you finally got it yo work?

Yeah you could of course do that too. I just threw it directly into my script that runs periodically to check raid health only because I wanted something that would ALWAYS work (maybe there is some future SuSE update that overwrites /etc/modules (or however else you choose to do it at boot) and then you have a problem.

Wouldn’t you just add the line mptctl to /etc/modules and have it done during the boot?
Maybe not – I use Kubuntu, not Suse, but this is how I added support for FUSE filesystems

… Sorry this comment is so late.
