Weird problem with gmirror - cannot add the Good disk when previously failed SATA disk is online
Hello, in advance sorry for the cross posting, it is just that freebsd-geom didnt seem that populated.

Which means that gm0 was somehow created before - maybe from the stale ad4 copy? If so, you are attempting to add a newer generation of data (from ad6) to a gm0 instantiated from an older generation (from ad4). This could explain the error code (22=invalid argument). OTOH if you only have ad6 in the system this means you are trying to insert ad6 into a mirror which is already instantiated by ad6 - which is trivially wrong. Which IMO is not very ok, since gm0 should add ad6 without problem, no matter if ad4 is online or not. You cannot really expect the system to behave correctly with broken hardware. -When having only ad4 online, then it simply cannot find gm0 at all. (kind of reasonable) Relatively. Is the ad4 recognized by the system? You didn't really clear metadata on ad4 so it should be recognized, but as a stale version (hopefully). If it isn't recognized at all, then it's broken. So my only option is to have only ad6 online, with a current gmirror status: panix# gmirror status NameStatus Components mirror/gm0 COMPLETE ad6 This is ok. Anyone has an idea of how should i proceed (besides buying a UPS unit!) Is it meaningfull to go for a new Disk to replace current ad4? Yes. Then proceed with gmirror insert. Why is the presence of the supposed bad disk ad4, affecting gm0, when having already told gm0 to forget about ad4? It's relatively common (it was more common in the days of PATA cables) to have a bad drive interfering with the rest of the system. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
