Good point, I should have mentioned that. No, this particular array has no writemostly devices; the other two arrays each have two writemostly components (the hard-disk partitions), and one “read-write” component (the SSD partition). However, although this is what I see in /proc/mdstat, I seem to recall that it is not exactly stored on-disk, since when I do a full reboot (rather than a hibernate/resume cycle) the three-way arrays all have three writemostly components and I need to “echo -writemostly > /sys/block/md127/md/dev-sdc1/state” (and ditto for the other). So you're probably right. The irony is, I was looking forward to a 3.1 kernel precisely because it is said to make the writemostly state persist on disk :-) > I think you were hit by d2eb35a, same as me; I'll either comment here or > file a new bug, depending on the case. I think you're right.
