Hi, If I "scsi remove-single-device" two devices from a RAID5, I would expect the RAID device to eventually fail itself. But it seems to be in some sort of loop spitting out raid5: md0: unrecoverable I/O error for block xxxx Where xxxx seems to be cyclic. Top shows that raid5d is taking 99% of the cpu. Note: the device was busy with activity when I logically removed the n-2nd device. <>< Lance.
