Dusting off the Array! (Part 5)

OK, new plan! After several reboots the array resyncs with about 120 MB/s, but it stops with “recovery interrupted” at about 40%. I have no idea how to fix this, so I’m gonna rebuild the array from scratch.

I ordered 3 new HGST 4 TB drives, hopefully delivered by tomorrow (2017/08/09). The Plan:

  1. Build a striped LVM device over 2 new drives. That should be enough to save all data.
  2. Rsync everything to the LVM device
  3. Replace the failing Seagate drive and rebuild the Array from scratch
  4. Rsync the data back to the RAID array and maybe replace the last remaining Seagate drive
