I'm wondering, why one needs to change partitions type back and force?
Recently I made an experiment - the same "fake crash" we're talking
about - and was able to "hotadd" "failed" drive back to RAID without
partition type changes. The kernel autodetected RAID (all drives,
including "failed"); autodetected the drive, which was out of sync;
kicked out "failed" (and just added again) drive from RAID; and run
RAID in degraded mode. Then I made raidhotadd. And soon have working
RAID. That's it.
So, did I miss something?
Best regards, Sergei.
