Hi,
I have install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Client yesterday. The first thing I have received is, that on the install-process with anaconda the raid-configuration-assistant crashes...3 times. So, I choose raid-configuration later and install RHEL6-Client.
Ok, after the reboot I configured software-raid with mdadm, and add later a spare device. I have wrote this into my mdadm.conf.
After reboot, the spare device is not listet with:
mdadm --detail /dev/md0
Code:
/dev/md0:

devices=/dev/sdc1,/dev/sdd1,/dev/sde1,/dev/sdf1
/dev/sdf1 is my spare device....
What is the problem with the spare??? I have rebuild and test this 4 times, nothing change...
