From 07d84d109d8beedd68df9da2e4e9f25c8217e7fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:27:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced. It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e. if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the interim, then the add should not require a resync. This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still be added without causing a resync.
