My /proc/mdstat does not contain "Event: 1", or "Event". So I would guess it is related to an event! :) Look in "/var/log/messages", and dmesg. I can't find any info that explains the contents of /proc/mdstat. It also seems like mdadm has a bug! It should support the "Event" line. Maybe just ignore it. Maybe /proc/mdstat should give details about the events. Just my 3 cents. -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Sharif Islam Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 1:29 PM To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org Subject: bad /proc/mdstat message I am getting the following message: mdadm: bad /proc/mdstat line starts : Event: I wasn't able to figure out the reason.
