I recently had mdadm mark a disk in my RAID5-array as faulty. As it was within warranty, I returned it to the manufacturer, and have now installed a new drive. However, when I try to add it, recovery fails about halfway through, with the newly added drive being marked as a spare, and one of my other drives marked as faulty! I seem to have full access to my data when assembling the array without the new disk using --force, and e2fsck reports no problems with the filesystem. What is happening here? -- 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
