With the bad block rate on modern disks as high as ever, I dare say it's an absolutely obligatory feature. If anyone knows how to do the above, I'm still looking for help :-). Quoting meself: ============= Trying to start with all 6 devices by hand: # mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 --force /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 mdadm: /dev/md1 has been started with 5 drives (out of 6). Ugh. Didn't work. Bug? How do I force MD to raise the event counter on sdb1 and accept it into the array as-is, so I can avoid bad-block induced data corruption? - 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
