Hello all, i have two software raid0's paired through drbd-6.12. my mysql database is stored there. all was fine until yesterday i lost one of the raided drives on the primary drbd device. here's what i did: 1. panic. both drbd devices showed need_sync. stopped drbd/heartbeat on the faulty raid. 2. remove BOTH the drives from the machine (idiot) 3. panic 4. put the good drive back in. found a replacement drive and pop it in. tried to rebuild the raid, wouldnt rebuild. 5. panic 6. realized i put the drives in wrong bays. switch them around. tried rebuilding. worked. 7. start heartbeat, secondary device started syncing. noticed that the raid is rebuilding at 300K/s, realized this is not good. meanwhile, looked at the data on the rebuilding raid - the database is still there - but its EMPTY. 8. panic. stop the rebuilding process, put the replacement drive into another bay - its a 2u chassis. tried rebuilding again - now at 60MB/s. Great. My question is: where did my data go? what happened to it? the database itself is there, the tables and all, but its empty. any way to revive it? Thank you.
