That's probably what I should have done. I don't seem able to do it now, though; raidctl -r refuses to remove /dev/wd3e from raid11's spares. (It doesn't complain, but wd3e is still listed as a spare when I check with -G afterwards.) I should probably go read the code to see if I can figure out what's really going on here...might be worth setting up a test machine I _can_ reboot casually. (The machine in question is a production machine and I'm not in the right city to deal with it personally.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
