This way, our solution is limited to kernel > 6.12 so, for example redhat 9 with kernel 5.14 will never pass the condition. I know that you fixed test issue but someone still may find this in real life. I'm not going to rework it myself, I'm fine with current approach until someone will report issue about that for older kernel. If you are going to rework this, please left a comment about kernel version that it was added, to let future maintainers know when the additional verification can be removed. Thanks, Mariusz

Hi Mariusz Thanks for pointing this out. You're right. I'll fix it. Regards Xiao > > Thanks, > Mariusz >

Reshape needs to specify a backup file when it can't update data offset of member disks. For this situation, first, it starts reshape and then it kicks off mdadm-grow-continue service which does backup job and monitors the reshape process. The service is a new process, so it needs to read superblock from member disks to get information. But in the first step, it doesn't update new level in superblock. So it can't change level after reshape finishes, because the new level is not right. So records the new level in the first step.
