same thing here, only I have a raid5 created with the previous release of
raidtools (5 October), I upgraded with aic7xxx 5.1.2 and the latest raidtools
and got the following:
disk 1, s:0, o:0, n:1 rd:0 us:1 dev:sdd1
disk 1, s:0, o:0, n:1 rd:1 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 2, s:0, o:0, n:2 rd:2 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 3, s:0, o:0, n:3 rd:3 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 4, s:0, o:0, n:4 rd:4 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 5, s:0, o:0, n:5 rd:5 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 6, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 7, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 8, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 9, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 10, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
disk 11, s:0, o:0, n:0 rd:0 us:0 dev:[dev 00:00]
raid5: failed to run raid set md0
pers->run() failed ...
do_md_run() returned -22
unbind<sdd1,0>
export_rdev(sdd1)
md0 stopped.
when I raidstart /dev/md0 it goes up without any problem whatsoever ...
Thanks, Giulio
