RAID1, Disk Mirroring: Not failing the last device correctly
Issue
-
In RAID 1 configuration, when both the disks are failed, state of only one of them is shown as faulty in the output of mdadm --detail /dev/mdX command, and the state of last failed disk is still displayed as active-sync.
$ mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdf mdadm: set /dev/sdf faulty in /dev/md0 $ mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Mon Aug 22 22:36:06 2011 Raid Level : raid1 ...
