Hello All ,  Is there a documented procedure to follow during
        creation or after that will get a raid6 array to self
        rebuild ?

        Why I am asking .
        I was getting the errors below at a heavy rate , so ...

Sep 7 20:11:49 localhost kernel: scsi2 (2:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Sep 7 20:11:49 localhost kernel: md: write_disk_sb failed for device sde Sep 7 20:11:49 localhost kernel: md: excessive errors occurred during superblock update, exiting Sep 7 20:11:49 localhost kernel: raid5: Disk failure on sde, disabling device. Operation continuing on 35 devices

        I ran the below & the above messages stopped .  But the array
        (appears to have) never tried rebuilding .

# mdadm --manage --fail /dev/md_d0 /dev/sde

        The problem arose because the drive died totally . ie:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # fdisk /dev/sde

Unable to open /dev/sde


# cat /proc/mdstat
