Question: can you have one or more spare-disk entries in /etc/raidtab when
running a RAID1 set?
First answer: the Linux Software-RAID HOWTO says yes, and gives an example
of this in the section on RAID1 config in raidtab.
Second answer: the manpage for raidtab says no, stating that spare-disk is
only valid for RAID4 and RAID5.
Hmmmmm...... Which is it....?
I'm running Mandrake 8.0, which is a 2.4.3 kernel. I haven't tried to
actually use a spare-disk entry yet, because I'm still waiting for the
third disk for my RAID1 set to get here, but I thought I'd ask to see if
anybody knows for sure. If not, I'll experiment with it once my third disk
gets here and report back.
Thanks!
