From 3a981b03f38dc3b8a69b77cbc679e66c1318a44a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 10:59:55 +1000 Subject: md: when a level change reduces the number of devices, remove the excess. When an array is changed from RAID6 to RAID5, fewer drives are needed. So any device that is made superfluous by the level conversion must be marked as not-active. For the RAID6->RAID5 conversion, this will be a drive which only has 'Q' blocks on it.
