mdadm: failed devices become spares!

["Pierre Vignéras" <pierre@vigneras.name>]

Hi, 

I encountered a critical problem with mdadm that I submitted to the Debian 
mailing list (it's a debian lenny/stable). They asked me to submit this to 
you. So that's what I do.

To prevent duplication of description/information, I give you the URL of that 
bug description:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578352

If you prefer the full stuff to be copy/pasted to that mailing list, just ask  
for it.

Note: that bug happened again today, on another RAID array. So the good news 
is that it is somewhat reproducible! The bad news, is that unless you have a 
magic solution, all my data are just lost (half of it was in the backup 
pipe!)...

Thanks for any help, and regards.
