Re: RAID5 problem

PS to Neil. I thought I might submit a patch to you that added a little 
more info the the above lines, the slot number and the raid device

So it would read:

mdadm: /dev/hdc3 appears to be part of a raid array:
     /dev/md0 slot[1] level=5 devices=4 ctime=Fri May 30 14:25:47 2003

I find this to be information that I have to search for using 'mdadm -E' so it
would be handy to see it all at once when having to force a broken array to
assemble.

Also it would be handy to see the update time rather than the creation time
(IMHO) so I can see how far apart the devices are (or maybe the event count
would be better for this) and whether or not the device was marked 'clean'.

What do you think?

Sounds reasonable - just send that patch.
