You don't say why two disks were kicked or when it happend so sdc may be out-of-whack a bit. Sounds like sdc got kicked first. So...I would do a bad-block scan on sdb2 so it can remap the bad section and re-build as you've been trying to do. If you REALLY want to use sda and sdc just rebuild the array with --create and leave sdb out of it. You shouldn't lose much data if sdc is current. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danilo Godec" <danci@agenda.si> To: <linux-raid@vger.kernel.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 9:10 AM Subject: Multiple disk failure - recover? > Hi! > > I have (had) a three disk RAID5 array.
