Hi! Have set up a RAID1 here for temporary storage of some backup files. As I am using Seagate barracudas I am prepared for sector errors :-). that's why I am using RAID1. Anyway I do get those occasional "Pending Reallocate" with the appropriate corresponding Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed in the log. A resync of the array will rewrite the failing sector and the drive seems to reallocate it and all is fine again . But I was expecting the MD layer to try to fixup that sector automatically by using the data from the other drive ?? Is there something I need to explicitly enable? Or am I expecting too much ;-) Best Dag -- 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
