I'm having no luck with this problem. If this is not the correct place to seek assistance or if there is some other place I should ask, I would appreciate it someone could point me in the right direction. About a month ago, my system crashed. When it booted, the raid array would not start. The system is seeing all of the drives, but can't find /dev/md0. I've got about 80Gb of data on the array which can be recovered in time, but if I can rebuild the array without losing the data, that would rock. dmesg shows the following: sh-2006: reiserfs read_super_block: bread failed (dev 09:00, block 8, size 1024) sh-2006: reiserfs read_super_block: bread failed (dev 09:00, block 64, size 1024) sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on md(9,0) The above is repeated 3 more times. dmesg does see the four drives that should compose /dev/md0 (hde is a spare): # dmesg | grep hd ... hdc: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive hdd: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive hde: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive hdg: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive ... # cat /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [raid5] read_ahead not set unused devices: <none> # cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf DEVICE /dev/hd* ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=fef44719:ddd66a49:0a337b48:b53e14c0 devices=/dev/hdg1,/dev/hdd1,/dev/hdc1 # mdadmin --assemble --scan mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0 I don't know where to turn from here. This is my first real experience with Linux and raid devices. If someone could help, I'd really appreciate it.
