How to force RAID resync on Linux (mdadm RAID)
To force a resync in mdadm
, you can trigger a rebuild of your RAID array. Follow these steps carefully, as they might disrupt your data if not done properly:
echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
Replace md0
with the name of your RAID array (cat /proc/mdstat
to show all RAID arrays)
To watch the progress:
watch cat /proc/mdstat
