writemostly - device will only be subject to read
requests if there are no other options.
This applies only to raid1 arrays.
+ blocked - device has failed, metadata is "external",
+ and the failure hasn't been acknowledged yet.
+ Writes that would write to this device if
+ it were not faulty are blocked.
spare - device is working, but not a full member.
This includes spares that are in the process
of being recovered to
Writing "remove" removes the device from the array.
Writing "writemostly" sets the writemostly flag.
Writing "-writemostly" clears the writemostly flag.
+ Writing "blocked" sets the "blocked" flag.
+ Writing "-blocked" clear the "blocked" flag and allows writes
+ to complete.
+
+ This file responds to select/poll. Any change to 'faulty'
+ or 'blocked' causes an event.
errors
An approximate count of read errors that have been detected on
for storage of data. This will normally be the same as the
component_size. This can be written while assembling an
array. If a value less than the current component_size is
- written, component_size will be reduced to this value.
+ written, it will be rejected.
An active md device will also contain and entry for each active device
achieved. In that case, the transition to "recover" isn't
notified, but the transition away is.
+ degraded
+ This contains a count of the number of devices by which the
+ arrays is degraded. So an optimal array with show '0'. A
+ single failed/missing drive will show '1', etc.
+ This file responds to select/poll, any increase or decrease
+ in the count of missing devices will trigger an event.
+
mismatch_count
When performing 'check' and 'repair', and possibly when
performing 'resync', md will count the number of errors that are
