Hi! After I rebooted during a raid6 rebuild, the rebuild didn't start again. Instead, there is a flood of "RAID conf printout"s that seemingly happen on array activity. All the devices show up properly in --detail and two devices are marked as "spare rebuilding", and I can access the contents of the array just fine, but the rebuild doesn't actually start. Is this a bug or am I missing something? :) I was initially on 2.6.38.8, but also tried 3.1.4 which seems to have the same issue. mdadm is 3.1.5. I'm not using start_ro and writing to the array doesn't trigger a rebuild either. Attached are --examine outputs before assembly, kernel log output on assembly, /proc/mdstat and --detail after assembly (on 3.1.4). -- Anssi Hannula
