The mdraid manpages are a bit confusing about how to add a device as a spare, but here's a cool method to ease the pain, make a fake RAID from fake disks made from plain files. Make your mistakes in the no-pain sandbox.    # Create 5 fake block devices (fake disks), each 10MB    for i in `seq 1 5`;  do truncate --size=10M fakeblockdev$i; done    # Create loopback mountpoints and mount the fake disks    for i in `seq 1 5` ; do  losetup /dev/loop$i fakeblockdev$i; done    # Create a RAID from ther fake disks    mdadm --create --level=10 --raid-devices=4 --spare-devices=1 /dev/md42 /dev/loop{1..5}    # Create fake filesystems on the fake raid    mke2fs -m 0 -L fakeraid -t ext2 /dev/md42    # cat /proc/mdstat         md42 : active raid10 loop5[4](*S*) loop4[3] loop3[2] loop2[1] loop1[0]        16384 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 near-copies [4/4] [UUUU] Wallah! Once you've got it working in the sandbox, the same commands should work on the real thing.
