Hello Andreas, After deactivating each of the individual rmage and rmeta volumes I receive this error: # lvchange -a y --activationmode degraded vg_data/lv_data device-mapper: reload ioctl on (253:12) failed: Invalid argument In messages I see the following errors: Nov 4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: raid: Failed to read superblock of device at position 0 Nov 4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: raid: New device injected into existing raid set without 'delta_disks' or 'rebuild' parameter specified Nov 4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:12: raid: Unable to assemble array: Invalid superblocks Nov 4 19:19:43 nas kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Am I not adding the new drive to the RAID correctly? I first did a pvcreate and then a vgextend. I was using the —rebuild option because I know which physical drive is bad. In the lvmraid man page it says —repair might not know which is the correct block to use so to use —rebuild.

Also, are you sure that --rebuild is the correct operation? man 7 lvmraid suggest you might want --repair or --replace instead.
