Here is in detail what I did. I have RAID-5 setup with 4 drives. This using PowerPC based SOC with XOR acceleration. I was testing the RAID-5 disk fail test using "mdadm -f /dev/sda /dev/md0". I installed Ext-3 file system on /dev/md0 then ran a "dd" command to do the traffic test. Then I fail the driver. After few seconds I unmounted the drive and ran "e2fsck -c /dev/md0" to check the consistency. I see there e2fcsk complains that there is some insistency in inodes, block etc and they it says it is correcting it. If there are file system inconsistencies and got repaired, you think there is problem with my setup ?
