For what I can read out about it it says: (Its the default behavour) Recovery to spare disk was successful. (recovering->OK) The failed disk that was in the raid becomes spare and are now marked failed. When you replace the faulty disk, it will become the new spare. It will not copy the data back to the disk in the possition that failed. /Bjorn
