So I had my first "failure" today, when I got a report that one drive
(/dev/sdam) failed. I've attached the output of "mdadm --detail". It
appears that two drives are listed as "removed", but the array is
still functioning. What does this mean? How many drives actually
failed?
This is all a test system, so I can dink around as much as necessary.
Thanks for any advice!
