Hi all, I've got a machine with a RAID6 array which hung on me yesterday. Upon reboot, mdadm refused to start the array, since it was degraded and dirty. The array had 7 drives, and one had previously gone bad. I'm running Fedora Core 5.
I rebooted, using the "md-mod.start_dirty_degraded=1" parameter. Everything seemed to be OK--the sync process started and I watched it go for about half an hour. I came back later, and found the machine had a kernel panic with the message "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt". Just to make sure, I restarted and tried to sync again, but got the same message. What might be causing this? Is there any way to recover? Thanks in advance!
