From f96c9f305c24a0d4a075e2c75aa6b417aa238687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:50:07 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md/raid0: improve error message when converting RAID4-with-spares to RAID0 Mentioning "bad disk number -1" exposes irrelevant internal detail. Just say they are inactive and must be removed.
