When you have a box with 60 8TB drives, 8 RAID6 sets and 12 spares assigned to the first set, and the first set has a failed disk and is rebuilding, spares aren't given to other sets with failing disks. Waiting 2-3 days for a rebuild to complete before giving out spares to other failing sets seems excessive.
Anyone got any comments/opinions on this, or suggestions as to other ways of doing this?
We'd ultimately just like to have a pool of 12 spares that can go to any raid-set as drives fail.
