If the array is marked read-only, it wont do a scrub. However if you simply don't have any filesystem mounted, then the array will remain 'clean' and any failures are less likely cause further failures. So doing it off line is a good idea, but setting the array to read-only won't work.
Thanks for the info Neil, would mounting the filesystems readonly be safe in the same way? (I might try to rsync some data out during the scrub) Thank you Asdo -- 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
