I don't know the mdadm commands from my head, sorry, but it's in the man page(s). If you want you run a scrub and see if these numbers change. If the drive fails hard enough then md will kick it out of the array anyway. Btw, I scrub my RAID6 (7 HDDs) once a week. /Mathias -- 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
