Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:35:04 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47E33AF8.6020106@harddata.com> (raw)
Given this situation:
7 disks in total
RAID5 of 6 disks, and a hot spare.
mdadm show the 6 disks, but not the spare.
As a maintenance question, where one wants to periodically ensure that
the hot spare is both available and good.
How should one best :
1) Verify the hot spare is still available.
2) Verify that the hot spare is healthy?
