   One thing is missed from software RAIDs is spare drives and state
monitoring (yes, I know, that geom_raid supports spare drivers for
metadata formats which supports them, but it not universal solution).

I am still missing one thing - dropped provider is not marked as failed RAID provider and is accessible for anything like normal disk device. So in some edge cases, the system can boot from failed RAID component instead of degraded RAID. This can cause data loss or demage.

Is it possible to fix it by something like your geom-events, or should it be done in each GEOM RAID class separately?


But after all, I realy appreciate your work in this area! I hope I will have time to test it soon.

Thank you!
