Most of the logic in there is already in mdadm. mdadm --assemble /dev/md_d0 --run --uuid=$BOOTUUID /dev/sd[abcd]2 can replace most of it. And you don't need to wait for resync to complete before mounting filesystems. That said: I cannot see anything in your script that would actually do the wrong thing. Hmmm... I see now I wasn't quite testing the right thing. I need to trigger a resync with one device missing. i.e mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l10 -n4 -p n3 /dev/sd[abcd]1 mkfs /dev/md0 mdadm /dev/md0 -f /dev/sda1 mdadm -S /dev/md0 mdadm -A /dev/md0 -R --update=resync /dev/sd[bcd]1 fsck -f /dev/md0 This fails just as you say. Following patch fixes it as well as another problem I found while doing this testing. Thanks for pursuing this.
