its my 1st question here so please be kind.

I've got an monitoring server which is running on debian wheezy. It runs a RAID1 (2x 160GB) on a Adaptec Raid Controller (IBM ServeRAID 8k-l).

A few days ago on of the HDD failed. So i replaced it with another HDD with 250GB space (because there was no 160GB HD). Everthing looked fine, as the new HDD was replaced and the rebuilding have started. After it was finished, i got a massage from our Nagios raid_aac check:

there are some failed stripes on logical device 0 on controller 1!

In my opinion Raid1 doesn't work with Stripes so how could it be that i got this error message:

Output from the Adaptec Raid Controller:

You guys got any hints, why i got this notification?

Do i have to replace the other 160GB HD as well with a 250GB HD because one of them got more space now, or do I really have to do a full backup and create a completely new array?

  • Go check. Run the nagios script from the command line. If it's a bash script, you can run it with `bash -x script` and it will literally tell you everything it does. – Ryan Babchishin Sep 09 '16 at 08:07
  • Nah its a perl Script. However the problem is not about the check. I got the failed Stripes warning as well in the raid controller status below "Logical device information" – n. traber Sep 09 '16 at 08:40
  • I see. Well, you are correct that there are no stripes with RAID-1. – Ryan Babchishin Sep 09 '16 at 08:48
