what I've seen is that it looks like this:
[UU_UU] until the drive is marked as dead.
and then it changes to:
[UUDUU] (I believe)
I'd want to know about the _ until otherwise noted.
and I'd want to be able to touch and ignore file so if its rebuilding I
don't hear about it every few minutes.
I'll see what I can hack up.
it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a few of these up on a raid-related
website so people could see their options.
