Hello Nigel,

Blame told us, that yours patch introduce regression in following
scenario:

#mdadm -CR imsm0 -e imsm -n4 /dev/nvme[0125]n1
#mdadm -CR volume -l0 --chunk 64 --raid-devices=1 /dev/nvme0n1 --force
#mdadm -G /dev/md/imsm0 -n2

At the end of reshape, level doesn't back to RAID0.
Could you look into it?
Let me know, if you need support.

Thanks,
Mariusz

I’m trying your situation without my patch (its reverted) and I’m not seeing success.
See the dmesg log.


[root@fedora33 mdadmupstream]# mdadm -CR volume -l0 --chunk 64 --raid-devices=1 /dev/nvme0n1 --force
