It appears that raidhotadd doesn't always trigger a resync under 2.6.18.

Starting with a broken raid1 mirror:

Same with evms and 2.6.18. it does not trigger the raid1 resync in any
case. (while it does with 2.6.17)
Have these tools to be updated ?

Well, mdadm-2.x should work, but this is a serious bug in md.

The following patch fixes it and should go in 2.6.18.1.

yeah, perfect, Thanks a lot !
