Due to an extended power outage over the new year, I have a RAID5 array with two dirty devices so it won't come up. The HOWTO suggests running: mdadm --assemble --force Is this good advice? I'm running RedHat 9 so I don't have mdadm but of course I'm happy to install it. Thanks John _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
