(please CC on replies, not subscribed to linux-raid@) Hi! While my RAID6 array was rebuilding after one disk had failed (which I replaced), a second disk failed[*], and this caused the rebuild process to start over from the beginning. Why would the rebuild need to start over from the beginning in this case? Why couldn't it just continue from where it was?
I believe it is because raid5 and raid6 share the same error handler which sets MD_RECOVERY_ERR after losing any disk. It should probably not set this flag in 1-disk lost raid6 case, but I might be overlooking something else.
thanks, Lennert
