[PATCH] md: Fix bug where new drives added to an md array sometimes don't sync properly.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a nasty bug in md in 2.6.18 affecting at least raid1.
This fixes it (and has already been sent to [email protected]).

### Comments for Changeset

This fixes a bug introduced in 2.6.18. 

If a drive is added to a raid1 using older tools (mdadm-1.x or
raidtools) then it will be included in the array without any resync
happening.

It has been submitted for 2.6.18.1.
