[PATCH] Revert "md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write."

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit a7854487cd7128a30a7f4f5259de9f67d5efb95f.

The above patch would cause lockups of RAID4/5 arrays if a drive is
going faulty during reconstruction.
