Subject: Create Raid6 with 1 missing member fails
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:37:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47B82AA4.10402@start.no> (raw)

I tried to create a raid6 with one missing member, but it fails.
It works fine to create a raid6 with two missing members. Is it supposed 
to be like that ?

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n5 -l6 -c256 /dev/sd[bcde]1 missing
raid5: failed to run raid set md0
mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Input/output error
mdadm: stopped /dev/md0
