After a drive has failed reconstruction restarts (this is the expected result), however if for some reason sthe system is rebooted (even if mdadm --stop /dev/md0 has been done) reconstrcution restarts from the begining. Is there some way to have md save the last completed point and pick up from there? ----- Stephen C.
