Hi all,
I made a raid5 array with command
mdadm -Cv /dev/md3 -n5 -x1 -l5 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e,f}1
It took me a while to undertand that while syncing a raid5 mdadm --detail
marks as failed the spare disk + 1. Is that correct? here the output before
it was finished and afterwords. The last one really was produced by mdadm 1.5,
the first one by mdadm 1.2, since

##########################################################################
in both output I see 7 'Total devices' and 1 Failed but I don't have any
failed in reality nor in the last part of the output. Am I misunderstanding
the output?
Last question: what is the meaning of 'Events: 0.2' (0.1 during syncing)?
Thaks in advance
