I have a RAID6 array. 1 drive is bad and now un-plugged because the system hangs waiting on the disk. The system won't boot because / is "not clean". I booted a rescue CD and managed to start my arrays using --force. I tried to stop and start the arrays but they still required --force. I then used "echo repair > sync_action" to make the arrays "clean". I can now stop and start the RAID6 array without --force. I can now boot normally with 1 missing disk. Is there an easier method? Some sort of boot option? This was a real pain in the @$$. It would be nice if there was an array option to allow an "un-clean" array to be started. An option that would be set in the md superblock.
