>Environment:
FreeBSD 6.2, i386
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo
RAM: 2GB
Motherboard: ASUS P5B-E
1 x Seagate 80GB disk
4 x WD 160 GB (WD1600AAJS)
>Description:
2 problems here:
1. Rebuild ICH8 RAID 5, the progress is always 0% and the partition can't be use any more.
2. A degrade RAID 5 can't boot. System hangs at boot time.
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo
RAM: 2GB
Motherboard: ASUS P5B-E
1 x Seagate 80GB disk
4 x WD 160 GB (WD1600AAJS)
ASUS P5B-E has intel matrix raid support. I am using 4 WD disks to build RAID 5. It works well on FreeBSD 6.2. The kernel can detect 4 disks and have a ar0 RAID 5 device.
"atacontrol status ar0" works well, I can see RAID is READY or DEGRADE when I unplug a disk.
But when I attache a new disk, add it as spare disk, then use atacontrol to rebuild to RAID, the progress is always 0%. And, the partition can't be access any more. If i try to access the partition, system hangs.
Any other problem is, if I shutdown the PC and unplug 1 disk from the 4 disks RAID 5, turn on power, the system can't boot. It hangs in detect ata raid.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Use Intel ICH8 chip and create RAID 5
2. Unplug 1 disk
3. attache disk, add to spare disk, and rebuild
4. progress is always 0%
5. unplug the new disk
6, reboot
7, system hangs when detecting ata raid
