i86 2.4.17 kernel 2 - 1de 20 gig western digital drives on separate channels (ASUS-me99) There are several raid partitions on this drive, one managed to get out of sync when the cpu failed. The ext2 file system is fine but the arrray will not reconstruct -- I have 7 linux boxes running various flavors or raid 1 and 5 for several years, and this is the first time I've seen anything like this. The reconstruction proceeds until /proc/mdstat says 99.9% complete (2015872,2015936) finish 0.0 min then the speed keeps going down with each successive query. There is no disk activity per the "red" light. Tried this twice with identical results each time. Any suggestions??
