Oh, and if you try this: DON'T allow fsck to change/fix anything on the disks if you want to later try a different combination - data corruption is pretty much guaranteed if you allow any writes and then change to a different set of disks. Bye, Martin PS: not sure what happens if you're using a journaling fs on the raid - I think fsck replays the journal before checking, so trying out different combinations of disk doesn't look like a viable option in that case? - 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
