I have two RAID1 sets of equal size, with one spare shared between them. When I reboot the system I get a Spares Missing notification on one of the arrays. Since this is a false positive, is there a way to avoid it? Extract from mdadm.conf: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 spares=1 UUID=19e69537:f7a6aec8:5a5f7576:3fc29e0d spare-group=swapgroup ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 spares=1 UUID=5e728621:c8b356a8:01f8e270:f0e280cb spare-group=swapgroup Thanks, Jan
