Hi all, just for my understanding of RAID1. When is a partition set faulty? As soon as a read hits a bad block or only when a write attempts to write to a bad block? I'm a little bit confused as I read the thread 'Robust read patch for raid1'. Does it mean that a read succeeds even if one disk is already gone? Greetings B.
