Could you point out where mdadm does this?

Hi Shaohua,

It's done in init_super1() during initialization.
1615memset(sb->dev_roles,0xff,

1616            MAX_SB_SIZE - sizeof(struct mdp_superblock_1));

I'm wondering what's the impact here. If there is a disk, we will set correct
role at the end of super_1_sync(), otherwise faulty sounds more reasonable.


Actually there is no impact if it works fine. I found the value for
spare slot in sb->dev_roles is changed while debugging a problem.
That's the reason I submit this patch.

Thanks,
Lidong

Jes,
Could you help check this?

Thanks,
Shaohua
