Hi! Can someone enlight me why "mdadm --examine" prints out the current examined disk as "this". I see no real sense behind this. Mdadm already states at the top of the output which device it examined. # mdadm --examine /dev/hda1 /dev/hda1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : c8756d0c:a668883a:6751424c:5fddb03d Creation Time : Tue Jan 21 01:05:23 2003 Raid Level : raid1 Device Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Fri Jan 24 14:07:39 2003 State : clean, no-errors Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 5dfc8bc1 - correct Events : 0.17 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 0 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 1 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 # mdadm --examine /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : c8756d0c:a668883a:6751424c:5fddb03d Creation Time : Tue Jan 21 01:05:23 2003 Raid Level : raid1 Device Size : 40209024 (38.35 GiB 41.22 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Update Time : Fri Jan 24 14:07:39 2003 State : clean, no-errors Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 5dfc8bd6 - correct Events : 0.17 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 0 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 1 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 -- 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
