Hi! While experimenting with fail/remove/add of mdadm # mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.00 Creation Time : Mon Jan 20 22:53:28 2003 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) Device Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Tue Jan 21 00:49:47 2003 State : dirty, no-errors Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 2 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 UUID : d876333b:694e852b:e9a6f40f:0beb90f9 I do wounder why I've got 2 spare drives despite the fact that I did not add any. I've just got two drives in this raid1 that's it. Kernel is 2.4.19. mdadm is 1.0.1 I tried to reproduce this by recreating the array and running fail/remove/add on it but did not succeed. No reboot. PS: Array Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) should IMHO be Array Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 40.21 GB) -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock FL226-RIPE Internetservices URL: http://www.fl.priv.at/ Email: fl@fl.priv.at ____________________________________________________________________ - 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
