If/when you upgrade to 2.6.x you'll notice that even on the vast majority of abnormal reboots, it still won't reconstruct. The code in 2.6.x marks the array as "clean" very quickly after writes stop so unless the array is actually being written when it goes down, its probably okay. On a huge array, that's nearly worth the upgrade right there... -Mike - 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
