Hi, first of all thanks for the Raidsupport in the Kernel : -> using it for Years! I have a general question about the implementation Raid 5. It happents me twice that one of a 3 Disk Raid 5 faild. After new installing the faild drive the system has to read the complete 2 disks to rebuild the 3. But there will be also a bad block, so the system will kick the 2. Disk and the Raid will fail. Now the Question: If I would give you 3 Blocks of a Raid 5 same Position differend Disk could you tell me which is worg? A + B +C = Data Simpy fake A (A) + B + C =Data Without knowing the superblock that a has failed. The idea behind this ist to make a raid 5 readable with some faid Blocks on any drive with the fact that no more than 1 Block on each "slide" is down. Block 1 A + B + C = O.k. Block 2 (A) +B + C = O.k. ... Block 8 A + (B) + C = O.k. ------------------------------- All Data O.K. I would love to have a mode of Raid 5 where no drive is kicked and all data are O.K, just for saving the Data. Would this tecnially possible?
