Something to worry > about? What the change actually does is make sure the raid super-block on disc is up-to-date before starting a recovery (rebuild-to-spare) pass after a disc failure. Presumably if you crash, or maybe even shut down, after a failure and before the rebuild completes, the superblock may have stale data and might confuse things. However I haven't thought through all the possible scenarios to figure out what the critical situation is. NeilBrown P.S. Thanks for asking. I had wondered about this to but didn't actually get around to looking until you asked. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
