Hi Guys,

I have encountered and issue regarding stale, I have primary disk which is mirrored with another disk however I have noticed that one of the block(s) have a stale status on the mirrored disk.

I have already change the mirrored disk however same blocka and same stale status was noticed.

Please advice what ever turn around will I do next.

Use vgsync or lvsync for mirror Synchronization

[Nagashankarp]

vgsync is the best way to go forward, if vgsync throws I/O errors, might be disk issue.

Hi Guys,

I already tried lvsync and vgsync, however same problem was encountered (I/O error.

I also replaced the mirrored copy disk, same error too.

Much appriciated for your further recommendation.

Or is there any patch that I need to apply?

Cheers,
