For raid1, you just get: raid1: sdXX: resheduling sector 12345678 with no raid1: Disk failure on sdXX, disabling device. following it. For raid5 you get raid5: read error corrected!! or raid5: read error NOT corrected!! or raid5: read error NOT correctable. with no mention of which device or sector. I guess that could be improved, couldn't it ;-) Thanks, NeilBrown - 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
