RAID 1 bug, nr_disks incorrect

2000-08-02 Thread Anton Blanchard
Hi, While testing raid1 (raidsetfaulty, raidhotremove, raidhotadd, repeat), I managed to get one raid set in a state where nr_disks was incorrect. This became a problem when trying to use lilo, because it would only write to one of the disks (since nr_disks was 1). With one disk in the set nr_d
