The new diff also includes a bugfix where the multipath mode would not correctly switch to a spare path if the only active path failed. It als= o includes a slightly different fix for the "do not derefence sb if disk_faulty". Please consider for inclusion in 2.4.21. If it can't go in yet, please = tell me what kind of changes you'd like to have for 2.4.22 instead. I understand that in particular the CLEAN_PATH ioctl might not be consi= dered a good thing; I gather that you seem to prefer the hot remove / hot add c= ycle instead; I think the CLEAN_PATH ioctl is nicer though. The patch, together with necessary changes to mdadm to take advantage o= f this functionality is at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmb/md-mp/md-mp-2, as= soon as the mirrors have catched up.
