I created RAID-10 on 4 drives, and I'm testing it a bit.

I removed one drive, and then added it again.

mdadm --detail says:

So, I have 4 working devices, which include 3 active devices and one spare device.

As I remember, with RAID-1, when I added a spare with "mdadm /dev/mdX -a /dev/sdY", I would see a message "hot added /dev/sdY", and state "spare rebuilding" in "mdadm --detail" output.

Right now I don't see the spare is being rebuilt? Spare HDD LED doesn't blink either, so it would indicate that it's doing nothing.

Why? Is it because the rebuild status is not complete?

All right, it got "spare rebuilding" state after all other drives were rebuilt.
