I've just got two drives in this raid1 that's it.Yes, it's probably a bug in the kernel code. The counting in the 2.4 code is very clumsy. I think it is benign so it wont be fixed. The code in 2.5 is very different and shouldn't have this problem.
Ok. Just wanted to let you know.
PS: Array Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) should IMHO be Array Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 40.21 GB)I disgree. An array side of 40209024 means that many kibibytes. i.e. 40209024 * 1024 which is 41174040576 bytes.
Hmmm...why don't we forget about this kibibytes sh.. anyways, it's not worth the troubles IMHO. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock - 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
