Hi! I have (had) a three disk RAID5 array. One of the disks (sdb2) has failed, however, under circumstances, two of the diskes were kicked out of the array. I tried re-assembling the array using 'mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdb2', but it always takes the sdc2 & sdb2 as OK disks and sda2 as failed. Of course, when the reconstruction hits the bad area on sdb2, it all fails again. How can I tell mdadm that /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdc2 are the disks I want as 'good'!?
