I have been using the failed disk feature since Martin Bene posted it as a
patch earlier this year. At that point, the style posted for including this
was replacing the raid-disk line with failed disk, not having both. I
suspect having both is working, in that the raid code will parse both and
use the value included last. I doubt this is recomended behavior, however,
as I'd doubt this behavior is intentional.. and therefore likely subject to
change.
Take care,
