Hi, after the RAID-5 problem, I just realized that other RAIDs I have, including a multi RAID-6, have different data offset for each component. This seems to be quite of a problem, in case "Create" is used to recover an array. Obviouly, if a 4 disks RAID-5 has 2 disks with one offset and 2 with another, it will not be possible to re-create it (saving the data). Is there any way to fix/prevent such issue? Shouldn't "mdadm" make sure all offset are the same? Or try, at least... What I noticed is that, adding a disk later, might cause different offsets. Any idea?
