What can cause this to occur after a clean shutdown & reboot: "md1: former device ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 is unavailable, removing from array!" I have looked in md.c and I can see where it occurs, but I don't understand the code much. -Thomas - 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
