I am confused on that part. Here is one system with a bad drive in a raid 6 config (see md1):<br><br>ldap3 ~ # cat /proc/mdstat<br>Personalities : [raid1] [raid6]<br>md0 : active raid1 hdt1[6] hds1[5] hdr1[4] hdq1[3] hdk1[2] hdj1[1] hdi1[0]

<br> 48876800 blocks level 6, 256k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/6] [UU_UUUU]<br><br>unused devices: <none><br><br>I am not sure why in your output it does not say active and the raid type.<br><br><br><br>Sorry I can not be more detailed right now, I got to go home from work and I know I will not be able to get back to you in a few hours but I will try..
