Package: mdadm Version: 2.6.7-3 Severity: wishlist In case of `mdadm' and RAID at all I'm a stupid person and my english isn't that great either.
It would be very nice if output of `mdadm' is more clear in case of a broken array. Currently the only hint you get from `mdadm' that your array is broken is this: # mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 1 drive and 3 spares - not enough to start the array. It could say something like `Your array is broken, you can't use it anymore' # mdadm -Q --detail /dev/md0 Raid Level : raid10 State : clean, degraded Active Devices : 1 Spare Devices : 3 And again the State: could be in this case definately `broken' The FAQ on question 18 lists the numbers how many disks can fail if you have luck for a RAID-10, in these cases there could be a `maybe broken' displayed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
