Replacing A Failed Hard Drive In A Software RAID1 Array
Version 1.0

This guide shows how to remove a failed hard drive from a Linux RAID1 array (software RAID), and how to add a new hard disk to the RAID1 array without losing data.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

 

1 Preliminary Note
In this example I have two hard drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, with the partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 as well as /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2.

/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 make up the RAID1 array /dev/md0.

/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 make up the RAID1 array /dev/md1.

/dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 = /dev/md0

/dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb2 = /dev/md1

/dev/sdb has failed, and we want to replace it.

 

2 How Do I Tell If A Hard Disk Has Failed?
If a disk has failed, you will probably find a lot of error messages in the log files, e.g. /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.
You can also run
cat /proc/mdstat
and instead of the string [UU] you will see [U_] if you have a degraded RAID1 array.
 

3 Removing The Failed Disk
To remove /dev/sdb, we will mark /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 as failed and remove them from their respective RAID arrays (/dev/md0 and /dev/md1).
First we mark /dev/sdb1 as failed:
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdb1
The output of
cat /proc/mdstat
should look like this:

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[2](F)
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

Then we remove /dev/sdb1 from /dev/md0:

mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb1

The output should be like this:

server1:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb1
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb1

And

cat /proc/mdstat

should show this:

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

Now we do the same steps again for /dev/sdb2 (which is part of /dev/md1):

mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --fail /dev/sdb2

cat /proc/mdstat

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[2](F)
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

unused devices: <none>


mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb2

server1:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb2
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb2

cat /proc/mdstat

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

unused devices: <none>

Then power down the system:

shutdown -h now

and replace the old /dev/sdb hard drive with a new one (it must have at least the same size as the old one - if it's only a few MB smaller than the old one then rebuilding the arrays will fail).

 
4 Adding The New Hard Disk
After you have changed the hard disk /dev/sdb, boot the system.
The first thing we must do now is to create the exact same partitioning as on /dev/sda. We can do this with one simple command:
sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb
You can run
fdisk -l
to check if both hard drives have the same partitioning now.
Next we add /dev/sdb1 to /dev/md0 and /dev/sdb2 to /dev/md1:
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1

server1:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1
mdadm: re-added /dev/sdb1
mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2
server1:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2
mdadm: re-added /dev/sdb2

Now both arays (/dev/md0 and /dev/md1) will be synchronized. Run

cat /proc/mdstat
to see when it's finished.
During the synchronization the output will look like this:

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]
      [=>...................]  recovery =  9.9% (2423168/24418688) finish=2.8min speed=127535K/sec

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/1] [U_]
      [=>...................]  recovery =  6.4% (1572096/24418688) finish=1.9min speed=196512K/sec

unused devices: <none>
When the synchronization is finished, the output will look like this:

server1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid4] [raid6] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
      24418688 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

That's it, you have successfully replaced /dev/sdb!
