Re: mdadm faulty disk

I'm having some more strangeness. The hardware is all working well.
I used mdadm to zero the superblocks and dd to wipe the first part of
the drives.

If I use examine, it thinkgs there are 2 spares

# mdadm -E --scan --config=partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid10 num-devices=4 spares=2
UUID=9c1abea6:658a7091:f5a58eca:665f7c96

While detail shows the correct single spare

# mdadm -D --scan --config=partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid10 num-devices=4 spares=1
UUID=9c1abea6:658a7091:f5a58eca:665f7c96

If I add a -vv to either command I only see a single spare.

Is there a specific mdadm mailing list? I don't see one...
