One of them, the one resyncing right now, is a backup system. When it is done, I will grow the main server.

I would rather not go nearly 5 days without a valid backup, if I can avoid it. Ordinarily rsync runs every morning. > I think at the time I needed a new mdadm, I downloaded 3.0 which is > the stable one for now (3.1 was pulled -- donno about 3.1.1). Unless there is some compelling reason to download 3.0, I think I will wait for it to be included in the stable distro of Debian. -- 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
