27.10.4 Executing program mdadm-repair.pl

After rebooting, execute the utility mdadm-repair.pl. To do this type (with root privileges) the following two commands into the console:

cd /home/cvs /archivista/jobs/
perl-mdadm repair.pl

You can now log in to ArchivistaVM, and in the overview, you should see under 'options' that the hard disk array has been rebuilt.

After some time (for large hard disk arrays the process can take several hours) you should once again see 'UU' in all positions (exception /dev/md3 see below).

Image tip: If /dev/md3 is not aligned, then the swap partition has never before been used (marked green in the picture above). It will be synchronised later during the first access.
