So I read your original email again and see: > I just tried rebooting during a synchronization (had to move the > computer), and the state of /dev/hdc3 is now: ... > ...but it's not synching. I wouldn't expect it to be syncing. You rebooted during a recovery (onto a spare). This is quite different from a resync (after a crash, or on a newly created array). If you reboot during a recovery, you have to start the recovery again at the start. Have you actually had the array completely recoverred since swapping hdc? > > So I think I should be safe.
