From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050509 Fedora/1.0.3-5 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: mdadm rejects the command-line flags that would enable one to shrink the number of active members of a raid 1 device to 1, although it enables one to create such a device from scratch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mdadm-1.9.0-3.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 1 /dev/loop0 2.mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 1 --force -n 1 /dev/loop0 3.mdadm --stop /dev/md0 4.mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/loop0 missing 5.mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -n 1 6.mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --force -n 1 Actual Results: 1. says --force is required, so 2. works. 5. says you need --force, but 6. says you can't use -f (although I said --force) along with --grow Expected Results: 6. should ideally work, or some other means to bypass the single-member test should be introduced. Additional info:
