Hello,
I have a server using opensuse 12.1. Since several services including third party software are running on this machine I did not upgrade on newer version. All in all the server is running well except of one thing.
I have installed 4 SATA (Seagate ST1000DL002) disk drives additional to the existing main disk. The 4 drives are supposed to work as a software RAID 5. Unfortunatelly no matter what type of RAID I use (0, 4, 5) and independend of the file system (I tried xfs, ext3, ext4) after using the RAID for some hours and writing data on it, the RAID system changes the mount options from rw to ro and can not be used correctly.
Like I said I tried all kind of combinations but always I get the error from above. On the other hand, the disks seem to be okay and their SMART values are also okay. If I mount each disk separately I can work with the disk a copy hundreds of GB and it's still okay.
I also tried to set-up a logical volume but still with no success if below is RAID. Also the dmraid (Disk mapper RAID) misbehaves in a similar way.
I replaced the SATA controller (initially SiL now Promise) but even this did not help.
The astonishing fact is that the RAID works for let's say some hours and I can write on it but then the mount option is changed.
Do You have any advices for me?
Thank you in advance
