Update the docs luke, frankly when you are not interested in how setups look which had never problems with dying disks to improve your setup it#s fine for me > BTW it appears, device naming was not the real problem in the end rather > that if a device disappears after a reboot, you have nothing special to > do except reassembling the array and force rebuilding the needed spare > if you have sufficient spare. I just expected it to be automatic. and that's what i don't understand and likely is because of a non perfect and not well tested setup, mine boots as long as there are two disks holding both mirrors all the time didn't you test how your setup behaves when you plug a drive and how to restore it *before* put data on it - that may sound arrogant but any redundant setup or backup is worthless until it#s tested against the expected points of failure
