What is the expected behavior when the drive's spare sector pool has been exhausted, and thus the sector cannot be remapped by the drive firmware? Unless md now keeps a spare sector pool of its own and remaps bad sectors, the only way to fix this situation is to replace the drive. And if indeed drive spare pool exhaustion is the cause of the sector not being remapped, the drive needs to be replaced. -- Stan -- 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
