David One thing, in the section md device line you describe how to identify spare devices, but you didn't mention the (S) which appears after a spare device, at least it does on mine: # uname -a Linux pecan.makuch.org 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Nov 1 21:09:24 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active raid5 etherd/e0.0[0] etherd/e0.2[9](S) etherd/e0.9[8] etherd/e0.8[7] etherd/e0.7[6] etherd/e0.6[5] etherd/e0.5[4] etherd/e0.4[3] etherd/e0.3[2] etherd/e0.1[1] 3907091968 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [9/9] [U] [==..] resync = 91.0% (444527040/488386496) finish=560.9min speed=1301K/sec unused devices: none Unless that means something else??? But e0.2 is my spare so I'm just assuming (S) means spare!
