It's possible I tried something as scary and irreversible as --update=revert-reshape in some desperate haze, so let's assume I did, but I was trying hard to avoid any advice that included --force in the command. > > NeilBrown Thanks again for looking into this, and let me know if there is any other useful information I can provide. -- Jonathan -- 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
