Date: Sat, 08 Jan 2005 19:08:44 +0400 Message-ID: <41DFF77C.8070108@wasp.net.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: RAID Linux List-Id: linux-raid.ids G'day all, With 2.4 kernels I recall that md would resync an array after a catastrophic event (like a power failure or kernel oops/panic). 2.6 does not seem to do that and just merrily fires up the array and continues on its way. Is there a reason for the change in behaviour? I'm wondering if I should force a resync with mdadm after such an event? I know it used to resync, and the server at work (running 2.4.26) certainly does on next powerup. The only other change is I recall I used to have md autodetect the arrays on startup, and now I use mdadm to start them, but that should not matter. (should it?) Regards, Brad (who came home to find a paniced box and thus must ask the question)
