Noting that that is very rough as a 500GB disk is only ~467GB usable anyway due to the way the manafacturers define disk sizes.
No, a 500GB is really 500 GB. However, that is 465 GiB. "They" have it right - even if perhaps for the wrong motives :-p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiB
Of course I could be wrong here but I normally don't expect to see a disk in the spare state in a normal RAID5 array, (but all the arrays I have seen using Linux Software RAID up to now have had a maximum of 4 disks and this has 6)
But you have 7 disk listed: ] Number Major Minor RaidDevice State ] 0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 ] 1 8 17 1 active sync /dev/sdb1 ] 2 8 49 2 active sync /dev/sdd1 ] 3 8 65 3 active sync /dev/sde1 ] 4 8 81 4 active sync /dev/sdf1 ] 5 0 0 5 removed ] ] 6 8 97 - spare /dev/sdg1 You should remove disk number 5 from the definition, that would remove the degraded state. And I don't see sdc1? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
