What should the output be for the following sequence:
dd if=/dev/zero of=i1 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=i2 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=i3 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=i4 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=i5 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=i6 bs=1M count=100
losetup /dev/loop1 i1
losetup /dev/loop2 i2
losetup /dev/loop3 i3
losetup /dev/loop4 i4
losetup /dev/loop5 i5
losetup /dev/loop6 i6
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 \
/dev/loop1 /dev/loop2 /dev/loop3
mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 \
/dev/loop4 /dev/loop5 /dev/loop6
mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 \
/dev/md0 /dev/md1
mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/loop0
mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/loop1
mdadm --detail /dev/md0
mdadm --detail /dev/md2
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md2 bs=1M
Shouldn't /dev/md2 be failed at this point? Shouldn't the
dd get an error? No error was reported. /dev/md2 is writable.
Where are the writes going?
What am I missing?
This is running on fedora 18. We saw the problem with production arrays on
fedora 17.
mdadm version: mdadm - v3.2.6 - 25th October 2012

Thanks,
