Re: force spare to sync

If you want the spare to be in-sync with the rest of the array, then
it is not a spare, it is full member.

i.e. instead of making a RAID1 array with 2 drives and one space,
make it with three drives and no spare.

Can you really make a 3 partition raid 1 with no spare???? And all 3 
partitions will remain in sync???  I haven't dug into the kernel 

Certainly you can.  There is nothing magic a "2" in raid1.  You can
have a RAID1 array of 27 drives if you like and they will always be
kept in sync.

..... but wadda I know???

enough to ask questions, which is a good start.
