Hi!
While my RAID6 array was rebuilding after one disk had failed (which
I replaced), a second disk failed[*], and this caused the rebuild
process to start over from the beginning.
Why would the rebuild need to start over from the beginning in this
case? Why couldn't it just continue from where it was?
I believe it is because raid5 and raid6 share the same error handler
which sets MD_RECOVERY_ERR after losing any disk. It should probably
not set this flag in 1-disk lost raid6 case, but I might be
overlooking something else.
thanks,
