Hello,
mdadm claims to support hotplugging raid member devices for
some time now, and it may only be a configuration issue to make
it work in debian out of the box.
https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Hotplug
Unfortunately, from the mdadm.conf man page I could not understand how to configure
proper hotplug POLICY lines, that simply allow what one would expect as default:
Always re-add (re-sync) a previously removed/failed disk or partition to its matching array,
no matter the port used to connect the disk.
I can understand that things like adding new (unknown) disks to arrays should not
be the default (and this ok to require some configuration). Nevertheless, I think any
modern operating system should automatically re-add a priorly removed disk when it is plugged-in
again.
Hopefully someone can chim in with some good mdadm.conf hotplug POLICY lines to be added for the
default debian configuration?
Kind Regards,
Christ
