Lacie 5Big2 Failed After Firmware Update

[fvdw]

Here the names are the names as used by the kernel, which indicates the position in the nas. I *think* that sda is left, when seen from the back. But maybe it's right. fvdw will know that, I suppose.

yes that is correct slot1 is the first one starting from left when looking at the backside

[fvdw]

/Edit: If that fails it might be a good idea to first bring the 'userspace names' in the same order as the roles (and the kernel names):
Code: Select all
rm /dev/sd*

mknod -m 666 /dev/sdc b 8 0
mknod -m 666 /dev/sdc2 b 8 2

mknod -m 666 /dev/sdb b 8 16
mknod -m 666 /dev/sdb2 b 8 18

mknod -m 666 /dev/sda b 8 32
mknod -m 666 /dev/sda2 b 8 34

mknod -m 666 /dev/sde b 8 48
mknod -m 666 /dev/sde2 b 8 50

mknod -m 666 /dev/sdd b 8 64
mknod -m 666 /dev/sdd2 b 8 66And retry the assembly on uuid.

this I still don't understand. This evening i start my 5big2 with some spare disk and see what happens
I am 100% sure the kernel detect the disks and names as specified in the diskmap (see also dmesg output) why it then messes op the devices nodes naming is odd and I wonder how it is able to do that happen. in the /dev folder they are set up correctly

Hi, I'm back. So what should I try first? rearranging disks 3 and 5? If so, how do I know which are they? Is it from left to right?So the third and last ones?

[Mijzelf]

As you can read in post 78, I think your sdb and sdc are actually the 1st and 2nd disk from the left (seen on the back).

Yes, I think it's a good idea to rule out hardware/kernel problems first. So remove the first 3 disks, and put disk 1 in slot 3, leaving the first 2 slots empty. (Of course put a mark on the disks first). And have a look if mdadm can read the metadata of all remaining disks.

(3 hours lunch? Viva España)

@fvdw: There is no law which connects sda to minor 0, only a convention. You are allowed to create a devicenode /home/user/7200rpmSeagate if you wish. Don't think it's a good idea, though.

I had a look in the 5Big2 initrd, and it's /dev isn't populated. On boot 'mdev -s' is called to populate it. mdev is the lightweigth busybox counterpart of udev, and it's capable to dynamically create nodes, in collaboration with the kernel. So I guess it can handle the strange devicename/minor combination.

If your busybox has mdev included, you could try on your box:

Code: Select all

mv /dev /dev.old
mkdir /dev
mdev -s

It might generate a non-standard set of device nodes.

yes for the kernel sda is the first disk on the left when looking to backside of the 5big2, sdc the tird one and sde the last one

[unlucky1]

No, not lunch, I had to drive into Barcelona for a meeting. I picked up a pizza on the way back so I could eat :)

Okay, I'll shut down the box and make the re-arrangement (disk 1 in slot 3 with slots 1 and 2 empty) and post results. I should do mdadm --examine /dev/sd* right?

[fvdw]

Mijzelf:
As you can read in post 78, I think your sdb and sdc are actually the 1st and 2nd disk from the left (seen on the back

For the kernel the fist disk on the left is /dev/sda and the second one /dev/sdb
This you can also see in the output of dmesg /dev/sda is linked to 0:3:0:0 which is the the first slot from the left

Why in partitons lis (cat /proc/partitons sdb is using the dev node for sda is a riddle for me)

@unlucky
I said take out disk 3 from the left and swap that with disk 5 from the left :mrgreen:
And post also output of dmesg after the swap beside that of mdadm

[unlucky1]

I'm so confused. I took out disk 1 from slot 1 and put it in slot 3 while leaving slots 1 and 2 empty. Was that wrong? Or do you want the dmesg /dev/sda of that? Because I have that here:
