From be6800a73aa2f3dc14744c3b80e676d189789f04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 10:17:09 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md: don't insist on valid event count for spare devices. Devices which know that they are spares do not really need to have an event count that matches the rest of the array, so there are no data-in-sync issues. It is enough that the uuid matches. So remove the requirement that the event count is up-to-date. We currently still write out and event count on spares, but this allows us in a year or 3 to stop doing that completely.
