The Cyp%Sync field tells you about the resynchronization progress,
i.e. the initial mirroring of
all data blocks in a raid1/10 or the initial calculation and storing
of parity blocks in raid4/5/6.
Heinz, can I perhaps ask you here. If I can.
I have put a root volume on raid 1. Maybe "of course" the second disk
(LVM volumes) are not available at system boot:
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: device-mapper: raid: Loading target
version 1.7.0
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: device-mapper: raid: Failed to read
superblock of device at position 1
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: md/raid1:mdX: active with 1 out of 2
mirrors
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: created bitmap (15 pages) for device mdX
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: mdX: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1
pages, set 19642 of 30040 bits
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-6): mounted filesystem with
ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
This could be because I am using PV directly on disk (no partition
table) for *some* volumes (actually the first disk, that is booted
from), however, I force a start of LVM2 service by enabling it in
SystemD:
aug 15 14:09:19 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Starting LVM2...
This is further down the log, so LVM is actually started after the RAID
is loading.
At that point normally, from my experience, only the root LV is
available.
Then at a certain point more devices become available:
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/mapper/msata-boot.
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Started LVM2.
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/raid/tmp.
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/raid/swap.
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/raid/var.
But just before that happens, there are some more RAID1 errors:
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: device-mapper: raid: Failed to read
superblock of device at position 1
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: md/raid1:mdX: active with 1 out of 2

aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: created bitmap (1 pages) for device mdX
aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: mdX: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1

aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: device-mapper: raid: Failed to read

aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: md/raid1:mdX: active with 1 out of 2

aug 15 14:09:22 xenpc2 kernel: mdX: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1

Well small wonder if the device isn't there yet. There are no messages
for it, but I will assume the mirror LVs came online at the same time as
the other "raid" volume group LVs, which means the RAID errors preceded
that.
Hence, no secondary mirror volumes available, cannot start the raid,
right.
However after logging in, the Cpy%Sync behaviour seems normal:
boot msata rwi-aor--- 240,00m
100,00
root msata rwi-aor--- 14,67g
100,00
Devices are shown as:
boot msata rwi-aor--- 240,00m
100,00 boot_rimage_0(0),boot_rimage_1(0)
root msata rwi-aor--- 14,67g
100,00 root_rimage_0(0),root_rimage_1(0)
dmsetup table seems normal:

But actually it's not because it should reference 4 devices, not two.
Apologies.
It only references the volumes of the first disk (image and meta).
E.g. 252:0 and 252:1 are:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 aug 15 14:09 msata-root_rmeta_0 ->
../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 aug 15 14:09 msata-root_rimage_0 ->
../dm-1
Whereas the volumes from the other disk are:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 aug 15 14:09 msata-root_rmeta_1 ->
../dm-3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 aug 15 14:09 msata-root_rimage_1 ->
../dm-5
If I dismount /boot, lvchange -an msata/boot, lvchange -ay msata/boot,
it loads correctly:

Maybe this whole thing is just caused by the first disk being
partitionless.

I don't know how LVM is activated under SystemD. This is currently the
initial startup:
dev-mapper-msata\x2droot.device (2.474s)
init.scope
-.mount
-.slice
swap.target
dm-event.socket
system.slice
lvm2-lvmpolld.socket
systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
systemd-initctl.socket
systemd-journald-audit.socket
lvm2-lvmetad.socket
systemd-journald.socket
systemd-modules-load.service (199ms)
dev-mqueue.mount (66ms)
ufw.service (69ms)
systemd-fsckd.socket
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount
lvm2.service (3.237s)
I have had to enable the SysV lvm2 service and replace vgchange -aay
--sysinit with just vgchange -aay or it wouldn't work.
lvmetad is started later, but without the manual lvm2 activation, my
devices just wouldn't get loaded (on multiple systems, ie. when using a
PV directly on disk to boot from).
No one else boots directly from PV, so I may be the only one to ever
have experienced this.
But at this point, my mirrors don't work. They do work when not started
as the main system. So If I boot from another disk, they work.
At least I think they do.
Basically all my LVM volumes are not loaded fast enough before the RAID
is getting started.
LVM itself gives no indication of error. lvchange --syncaction check
msata/root does not produce any data. It seems it doesn't notice that
the RAID hasn't been started.
Again, there is zero output from commands such as lvs -a -o+lv_all and
yet this is the output from dmsetup table:
msata-root: 0 30760960 raid raid1 3 0 region_size 1024 2 252:0 252:1 - -
So my first question is really: can I restore the RAID array while the
system is running? E.g. while root is mounted?
I haven't explored the initramfs yet to see why my LVM volumes are not
getting loaded.
Regards.
