Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After careful thinking, I started reading the manpages again, more exactly raidctl(8) and raid(4). Of course, I was not paying attention the first 5 times i've read them ( stupid me ).

In raidctl (8) it states clearly the special circumstances for setting up a raid array in degraded mode.


"Configuration(using *-C* and *-I* /12345/ as above) proceeds normally, but initialization of the RAID set will have to wait until all physical components are present. After configuration, this set can be used normally, but will be operating in degraded mode. Once a second physical component is obtained, it can be hot-added, the existing data mirrored, and normal operation resumed."


So there's where i've made the mistake. After configuring the degraded raid array i was initializing him ( raidctl -vi raid0 ).That's why after adding the "real" partition as spare , doing a reconstruction of component0 and parity re-write,after reboot component0 kept failing.


Thank's againg to all and sorry again for the unnecessary bnoiseb.
