These virtual devices are two hd situated on other two servers. The problem is: A network failure could happen often, and if it happen, i don't want to recover all the disks. I want to recover just last changed things. As i can see the bitmap do exactly this, but the default bitmap is too small! There is no problem to have a bitmap file of 1 Gb, but i can't find the way to tell to mdadm the size that he has to use for the bitmap file. Thanks, Stefano.
