Is it always the same disk that gets marked offline ? Perhaps the

If you only have 3 disks, then you can't have:

If I switch the "DEVICE partitions" with "DEVICE /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdd1", drives no longer are allocated as spares, however the array
still seems to rebuild every boot.
I don't remember the specifics of what was in /proc/mdstat at the time,
but
currently the array is being rebuilt. I'll reboot after it is complete
to
give you a copy of it. Basically it allocated the dropped drive as a
spare
which I'd have to mdadm -stop and mdadm -add to the original array after
every boot, manually. Give me an hour or two and I'll get you the
output of
mdstat.

I just recently installed a 3-disk RAID5 array in a server of mine,

FC9. Upon reboot, one of the drives drops out, and is allocated as a

I suspect there is some sort of issue where DBUS re-arranges the
drive-to-device maps between boots, but I am not sure... Just kind of
annoying to have to stop and re-add a drive every boot, and wait the
couple
hours for the array to rebuild the 3rd disk. Any thoughts? Anyone
else
encountered such an issue before? What should I be looking for? I'm
new
to
the world of RAID, so any information you can give may be helpful.
What's in /etc/mdadm.conf, /proc/mdstat and dmesg when this fails ?
check and make sure that the UUID number your specifying in your
/etc/mdadm.conf file is correct. You can verify the UUID numbers by
typing "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid"
Next verify that the UUID numbers in your /etc/mdad.conf file stored in
the initrd file is correct, you'll have to extract the initrd file
with cpio. I don't remember the full procedure but you should be able
to find it pretty easily with your favorite search engine.
