Hmm, if the array is degraded, then there is no redundancy at all, so there is no chance for any inconsistency. Btw., this reminds me... now when you have raid6 - when is a raid6 defined to be degraded? Perhaps you have equal issues there as with raid1 >2 mirrors some months ago (resync was not started when 3rd mirror failed and 1st and 2nd were inconsistent)? > If the array is fully functioning, then any inconsistency will be > corrected by a 'resync'. Yes, because the redundancy is ignored and rebuilt. regards Mario -- Why did the tachyon cross the road? Because it was on the other side. - 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
