I check into code in mdmonitor.c in function check_array: fd = open(dev, O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { if (!st->err) alert("DeviceDisappeared", dev, NULL, ainfo); st->err=1; return 0; } fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC); if (ioctl(fd, GET_ARRAY_INFO, &array)<0) { if (!st->err) alert("DeviceDisappeared", dev, NULL, ainfo); st->err=1; close(fd); return 0; } /* It's much easier to list what array levels can't * have a device disappear than all of them that can */ if (array.level == 0 || array.level == -1) { if (!st->err) alert("DeviceDisappeared", dev, "Wrong-Level", ainfo); st->err = 1; close(fd); return 0; } I suspect above code lead to the DeviceDisapeared event you see, not sure why this get GET_ARRAY_INFO return array.level == 0 means Device Disappeared? Anyone who more familiar with the logic may gave a comment? Best regards!
