On my server the value was<br /> cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt<br /> and partition was md0, which is BOOT. SO, I quickly found the way to repair the problem by using<br /> echo repair >/sys/block/md0/md/sync_action<br /> watch cat /proc/mdstat<br /> and after repair is completed<br /> echo check >/sys/block/md0/md/sync_action<br /> watch cat /proc/mdstat<br /> After those operations the value of desynchronized blocks went to 0 again:<br /> cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt= <h3>Disk layout for scsi to drive mapping</h3> <pre> ---------------------SunFireX4500------Rear---------------------------- 36: 37: 38: 39: 40: 41: 42: 43: 44: 45: 46: 47: sdab sdaf sdt sdx sdar sdav sdaj sdan sdl sdp sdd sdh c3t3 c3t7 c2t3 c2t7 c5t3 c5t7 c4t3 c4t7 c1t3 c1t7 c0t3 c0t7 24: 25: 26: 27: 28: 29: 30: 31: 32: 33: 34: 35: sdaa sdae sds sdw sdaq sdau sdai sdam sdk sdo sdc sdg c3t2 c3t6 c2t2 c2t6 c5t2 c5t6 c4t2 c4t6 c1t2 c1t6 c0t2 c0t6 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: 18: 19: 20: 21: 22: 23: sdz sdad sdr sdv sdap sdat sdah sdal sdj sdn sdb sdf c3t1 c3t5 c2t1 c2t5 c5t1 c5t5 c4t1 c4t5 c1t1 c1t5 c0t1 c0t5 0: 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: sdy sdac sdq sdu sdao sdas sdag sdak sdi sdm sde sda c3t0 c3t4 c2t0 c2t4 c5t0 c5t4 c4t0 c4t4 c1t0 c1t4 c0t0 c0t4 b b -------*-----------*-SunFireX4500--*---Front-----*-----------*---------- </pre> ---+++ Other? ---++ Manuals External links to manuals ---++ Issues Information about issues found with this hardware, and how to deal with them ---+++ Issue1 ---+++ Issue2
