Hi Neil, found another bug. - Created a container with six disks - Created two md devices in it: mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l 6 -n 6 -z 50M mdadm -CR /dev/md1 -l 5 -n 6 -z 50M The md devices are "layered" in the container across all disks. They both get build and are online. - Fail one disk, both md devices are affected - Remove disk - Clear superblock of removed disk - Add disk again (in essence, I just added a spare disk) Now comes the error: - md0 is rebuild - md1 is NOT rebuild Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid1] md1 : active raid6 sde[6] sdg[5] sdf[4] sdd[2] sdc[1] sdb[0] 204800 blocks super external:/md127/1 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 10 [6/6] [UUUUUU] md0 : active raid5 sdb[6] sdg[5] sdf[4] sdd[2] sdc[1] 256000 blocks super external:/md127/0 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/5] [UUU_UU] md127 : inactive sde[3](S) sdb[0](S) sdg[5](S) sdf[4](S) sdd[2](S) sdc[1](S) 196608 blocks super external:ddf unused devices: <none> Physical Disks : 6 Number RefNo Size Device Type/State 0 cb5ea6c1 1015808K /dev/sdc active/Online 1 a7f8ed2f 1015808K /dev/sdd active/Online 2 f769a815 1015808K /dev/sdf active/Online 3 025e6835 1015808K /dev/sdg active/Online 4 b22e9e4d 1015808K /dev/sdb active/Online 5 b4cccecc 1015808K /dev/sde active/Online Albert -- 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
