Hi, Another question on this matter please: If there is a raid5 with 4 disks and 1 missing, and we add that disk, while its doing the resync of that disk, how do we know which disk it is (if we forgot what one we added)?

Or in other words, how can I stop the resync > process and let it cont. later? There is no "one that is being used to check all the rest". They are all in this together. But if you want to stop the resync because it is slowing things down then write a small number to /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min e.g. echo 10 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min This won't actually stop it, but it will make it go very slowly so as not to interfere with anything else.
