Raidreconf w/ 2.6.2

Hi Mike,
Glad to know that it's helped someone else. It's a little worrying to see the error messages...
I believe that is the error message I received. It appears to happen when the disks are of differing sizes. I think what's happening is that it runs off of the end of one of the disks - i.e., Disk1 = 200 blocks and Disk2 =99 blocks. It assumes that all of the disks are the same size instead of looking at the lowest common denominator.
Hope this helps.

Hi
This is related to a message you put on linux-raid months ago
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-raid&m=108509877724484&w=2 ). I am having the same problem (as near as I can tell so far all my data's intact using the method you suggested in that post...I had no data near the end of my array) but I'd like to be sure we're dealing with the same problem/bug before I start speculating about a bug in raidreconf on linux-raid.Do you remember if you got an error message like
raid5_map_global_to_local: disk 0 block out of range: 2442004 (2442004) gblock = 7326012
aborted (core dumped)when this happened to you?
Thanks,
Mike Baynton
