I have two software RAID 5s.
Today when I turned on my server (after it was off for two weeks when I was on vacation), I got the message that the software RAID is degraded and was offered RAID recovery console or boot degraded.
No idea what to do in that recovery console btw, so I just exited it.
After the boot finished normally I took a peak at /proc/mdstat but there is nothing amiss there.
So I took a look at mdadm --detail /dev/md0 (and md1) and again everything looks fine with Failed Devices being 0 both times.
Next I took a look at smartctl --alll /dev/sdX for all of the drives and Reallocated_Sector_Ct is 0. (Lots of other zeros, all numbers look to me fine)
Anybody have any ideas why I'm getting the RAID recovery message on boot when nothing seems bad?
