I'm wondering what the implications are for having multiple raid sets on a partitioned disk wrt to disk failures. For example, suppose I create two partitions on a set of disks and create raid sets on those partitions. Further, not all raid sets reference the same disks. IOW, md0 references disks 1 and 2, and md1 references disk 1 and 3. (overly simplistic for discussion purposes) Assume a portion of disk 1 goes 'bad' (localized within one of those partitions), is noticed by md and a rebuild is warranted. What is the behavior? Will both raid sets start a rebuild? Or only the affected raid set? IOW, would there be two rebuild tasks, one for each raid set? Or a single rebuild that encompasses all raid sets (within the same raid level, of course) on the disk in question? What I am getting at is whether there would be any advantage to partitioning disks for failure purposes.
