You're one tiny problem away from that whole array collapsing and you're worried about this one fussy disk? I don't understand your delay in immediately getting a replacement drive in this array unless you really don't care about the data at all, in which case why have a RAID6? > > Sure, what are the odds of a 3rd drive dying… *shrug* Seems like an unwise risk tempting fate like this. > > > Chris Murphy > > -- > 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 There's no more dying drives in the array, 2 out of 7 died, they are on RMA soon. (when I can get to the post office). I did see 5 pending sectors on 1 HDD after the reshape finished though. I don't care much about the data (it's not critical), RAID6 is just so I can have one large volume, some speed increase and a bit of redundancy. If I had them all as single volumes I'd have to use mhddfs or something to make it look like 1 logical volume. Or even use some kind of LVM perhaps.
