X-Git-Tag: v2.6.33-rc1~284^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93be75ffde6dfd1ad17cc3ff1dbd135bd711baf4;p=pandora-kernel.git md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity. As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest opportunity. So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update immediately after adding spares to a degraded array. This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will continue from wherever it was up to. Previously this didn't happen unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
