Hope this clarifies. You don't need this script if your OS always
finds
your spares and adds them automatically to your arrays. Mine doesn't.

Really, if md 'forgets' a spare on reboot, that's a bug and should be reported. This is how my raid looks

Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] 
md0 : active raid6 sdg[5] sdh[6](S) sdc[7] sdb[0] sde[3] sdf[4] sdd[8]
      7814051840 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] [UUUUUU]
      
unused devices: <none>

What distro/version is this?

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
