So, we need a way, to feedback the redundancy from the raid5 to the raid1.
<snip long explanation> Sounds awfully complicated to me. Perhaps this is how it internally works, but my 2 cents go to the option to gracefully remove a device (migrating to a spare without losing redundancy) in the kernel (or mdadm). I'm thinking mdadm /dev/raid-device -a /dev/new-disk mdadm /dev/raid-device --graceful-remove /dev/failing-disk also hopefully a path to do this instead of kicking (multiple) disks when bad blocks occur. - 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
