Hi all! My raid0 config looks as follows: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 1 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 128 device /dev/sda5 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sde1 raid-disk 1 device /dev/sdd1 spare-disk 0 When booting the system, one raid-disk is not operational. When raid tries to reconstruct, I get: md0: no spare disk to reconstruct array! -- continuing in degraded mode Why doesn't raid detect my spare disk??? Uwe
