"didn't fail" means that the raid entered into degraded mode. in /proc/mdstats you would notice that the disk is faulty. I have a root file system over raid1 and I could not allow myself letting the operating system hang, so i added it. This is not the best solution and the maintainers of the code would disapprove it since it is not complete.But for myself it is suffice. On Wed, 2005-06-15 at 17:27, Diego M.
