Subject: /proc/mdstat showing a device missing from array
Date: Sun, 13 May 2007 11:33:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1179081234.46475a12d46ba@mail.2inches.com> (raw)



Hello all,

I just set up a new raid 5 array of 4 750G disks and am having a strange
experience where /proc/mdstat is showing that one device is missing from the
array.  The output from a "--detail" shows that there is some unnamed device
that has been removed from the array and I don't understand why or how to fix
it.  Can someone please shed some light?

kernel version: 2.6.20-1.2312.fc5xen0 (this is a fedora core 5 prebuilt kernel)
mdadm version: mdadm - v2.3.1 - 6 February 2006
