But last time i've tried to configure mdadm to automatically replace a disk when replaced: https://linux.die.net/man/5/mdadm.conf "POLICY" section, tried all but the best candidate seems to be "spare-same-slot" I was never able to make that working. I've tried everything: insert a brand new disk, insert an already partitioned disks and so on. I always though that the main issue was due to disk partitioning, mdadm won't be able to re-add a brand new disks if raid is made with paritions (the new disks doesn't have any partition) Any idea ? -- 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
