[Q] md: Why mddev->pers->status() '[2/1]' - degraded in second value?

[Sebastian Riemer]

Hi all,

can somebody answer the question why in /proc/mdstat the degraded count
is used in the second parameter and not in the first of the string "[2/1]"?

Here is the related code:

from raid1.c:
	seq_printf(seq, " [%d/%d] [", conf->raid_disks,
		conf->raid_disks - mddev->degraded);

In the other personalities it is the same. For me it would make more
sense to see that I've got "[1/2]" (one of two) active.

I couldn't find the explanation in "Documentation/md.txt".

Cheers,
Sebastian
