Subject: Raid5/6 journal re-add
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2017 18:00:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4752eee7-7b05-55fc-9e0b-d9446ef4328d@gmail.com> (raw)

I did a 'pull-the-drive' test on a raid6 array with a write-journal and 
found that mdadm (v4.0-218-gfe05dc4 - 2017-11-09) would not let me 
--re-add the drive so I add to --add it.

mdadm: --re-add for /dev/sdq1 to /dev/md124 is not possible

My expectation was that the drive would be recognized as being the 
missing member and would be re-added and only out-of-sync regions would 
be resync'd.

When I --add'ed the drive to the array the resync process started for 
the entire array, not just for the out-of-sync regions. Is this correct 
behavior for arrays with write journals? Are there plans to perform a 
selective re-sync rather than a full re-sync?
