I have managed to make the kernel remove a disk from my raid even if this raid is "/" . I did it by adding a line in ata_scsi_error that remove the ata disk from the raid array. This means that when the first error ocurrs on a disk It is removed from the array. Well, this is not the best thing to do.. Question is : When does a disk become faulty ? Is when you have N errors in T time ? New ideas would be welcomed. -- Raz Long Live the Penguin - 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
