Thank you for the reply.

Yes that was just a typo when I rerun the command for the e-mail.

Originally I typed it correct (and that does not work either)

     mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2
          mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdd2: Device or resource busy
          mdadm: /dev/sdd2 has no superblock - assembly aborted

sdd2 must be opened by something already. Maybe a RAID is already 
assembled with that particular device? What does "cat /proc/mdstat" outputs?

Otherwise "lsof|grep sdd" might help to find out what has a open handle 
on that drive.

Ben.

Re: More information on linux raid partition problem

From: d c <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-18 18:03:24

Ben,

You are correct, sdd2 was tied up.  This must have been caused by my
experimenting on mounting md0.

[root@server ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : inactive sdd2[2](S)
      48194880 blocks
        . . .

I rebooted the system and now both sdd2 and sde2 show "clean" with a
mdadm --examine.

But I still can not assemble the raid:

     mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2
     mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde2: Device or resource busy
     mdadm: /dev/sde2 has no superblock - assembly aborted

I hope you have more ideas.

donald

Try "mdadm --stop /dev/md0" before --assemble. Even though md0 is
inactive, it still locks its component partitions.

I don't see /dev/sde2 in the truncated output of /proc/mdstat - is it
possible it's being used for something else other than the md0 array?

Sorry for replying to myself, but I noticed something further down in
the thread. Because the event counts on /dev/sdd2 and /dev/sde2 are
different, you may need to add --force to your mdadm --assemble
command.

The only other thing I can think to try is --re-add:

Not sure if that will re-create the superblock, though.
