Hi all, checking randomly the component of some RAID-10 arrays (two disks each), with "mdadm -E /dev/sdXY", I noticed the following. There is an entry reported, called "Device Role". On one array, the components are defined, respectively, as: Active device 0 Active device 1 On another two arrays, it's a bit different. Active device 0 spare Why is it "spare" (all are RAID-10 f2)? Does it make any difference one or the other role, in this type of RAID? On the other hand, "mdadm -D /dev/mdX" does not seem to give any hint on the different roles.
