In raid5 there's no real need for that. When you add disk back into array, it should get fully resynced anyway. I've written a short blurb in my blog about a rather rude method to handle misbehaving disks. Basically take it out of the array, run badblocks -w on it for a week and if it's ok, put it back :) -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
