# \[PATCH\] Monitor: Include containers in spare migration - From: Mariusz Tkaczyk \ - Date: 2017-07-21 12:58:04 - List: linux-raid - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-raid/2017/07/6636185 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-raid/2017/07/6636185/t.md ```text md_array_active used GET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl to find out if array is active. If called for a container, it also returned true as ioctl for container was successful. sysfs implementation of md_array_active returns false for container and spare migration for external metadata doesn't work. One option would be to make sysfs implementation work the same way as ioctl implementation, however md_array_active is a misleading function name to return true for inactive containers. As ioctl implementation is supposed to be abandoned one day, let's keep different (but correct) behaviour. Most of the callers of md_array_active don't use it on a containers anyway so change the only place where it matters.
