Hi! One disk failed in my four disk raid5 array this morning. I think I messed up a bit, anyway it ended with that I removed all disks from the raid array. Now when I add them again they show up as spares and I have no main disks at all. Is there a way to force the three remaining disks (excluding the faulty one) to be an array again and not lose the current data? If I do --create, mdadm warns me that they are already a part of md1, yes but just as spares! If I let mdadm do --create, I suppose I lose all the data? What can I do? Really thankful for some insights here.
