Subject: Drives re-added as spares instead of put back into array in rebuild mode
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:44:25 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7db987b31003210744x7f5991c0y9e1bb6f94da38570@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I had two drives that were dropped from this four drive array.
After going through failing, removing and re-adding the drives, I am
left with the following state. The two drives that were re-added are
sitting as spares and there is no rebuilding activity going on. Can
someone explain where I am going wrong?
