i have a very peculiar issue that is running in my system.

Using debian linux :

My system boots up very normally with a primary and secondary hard disk. suddenly my secondary hard disk fails with some I/O Error DRDY UNC errors which tends make my primary SDA to read only filesystem.

  1. how to avoid primary to be changed as read only
  2. What are all the steps i need to do for removing the SDB reference from the system
  3. Is it possible to detect SDB removal from the system

    • i was not able notice anything on SDA becoming readonly file ssytem

  • Why are you removing hard disk and/or the power to your disks on your system?

  • @ewwhite :: I just do that for testing but actual scenario is that SDB are getting DRDY errors which i was not able to simulate.But with logs i see that when SDB gets a DRDY error it makes my SDA inaccessible and makes it read only file system

    I see more errors on sdb, and a lot of irrelevant junk, but still nothing about sda going read-only.

    I ask again: what has either of those to do with proving that sda goes read-only? At the moment, it looks like sdb fails, and that freezes the system. Get any data that's on it off, and replace it.

sdb is failing, as evidenced by the line:

[sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed

You need make sure everything is backed up and replace the drive. For good measure, check all other drives in the system to see if they are having issues, using the drive manufacturer's tools.

From what you've posted I can't tell what's going on with sda. But its quite common for the entire system to freeze when a drive starts failing. Or for the IDE or SATA controller both drives are attached to to hang. Either of those could cause it to detect a file system error, and switch to read only mode to try to prevent any damage.

  • Yes so true and that this freeze looks to be the issue which you are pointing in.But is there a way where i can point kernel to avoid re-initializing the controller on SDB failures so that i can make sure that my system is up and running.

  • Physically remove the hard drive. Unmounting all partitions on the drive might stop it, but no guarantees.

  • :: since the machine is in remote places i really want to stop down time.if there is linux hack for detecting failed SDB devices i would prefer that.

  • @ragav are you trying to still be able to use the failing drive? Linux isn't "detecting" that it's failing - it is just failing. The drive doesn't respond and locks up the system. Stopping all use of the failing drive might stop it from locking up.

  • no we have to replace the drive but since it is remote we dont want system to be in down state.so for tht time we want the primary to gracefully handle secondary so that system will be up and running.
