Neat but I think your expectations of RAID are slightly off. When you corrupt the disk from underneath softraid it can not detect that at runtime. The only hope you have is that the metadata got corrupt so that at least you get warned that something went severely wrong. You did find a bug; that is removing the disk and rebooting it and then reinserting it. I am not sure how you did it but it should have complained that your raid set is only partially there. Can you elaborate on you actual steps and describe what "remove" means? > > -- > Best Regards > > Edd > > --------------------------------------------------- > http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
