Hello, list, I have one idea! I using raid4, and found to be really good, but i think this can be more better! :-) If the raid4 fails one disk (except the patiry disk), the md currently only drop the disk from array, but i think this could be more useful, if the md immediately starts to transform the parity disk into the place fo missing disk! This is possible, and with this option, performance-dependent systems can go faster again, after the "rebuild" is completed! This is only requires one (big) number in superblock to count/track the process. Also this has a little risk too, and need to be an "expert" option - i think... What do you think, Neil?
