Humm. I would guess it would re-build to the last disk on the command line. Maybe just enter the command again. Can't do any more damage! Then do the 2 commands and send the output. Did the original array have 3 disks and 1 spare? If so, ignore the spare until things are working again. -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stephen Hargrove Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 3:41 PM To: Guy Cc: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Should I Start Over?

As I mentioned, I shut it off when it had reached 1.1% of the rebuild. I haven't turned it back on because I don't want it to begin rebuilding again. My minimal experience has shown that it will likely pick up where it left off. The startup script (Debian Sarge -- /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid) is going to use /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, which is: # 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 (And apparently doesn't reflect the fact that hde is my spare ...) > Omit the disk that is being re-built!!!!!! Not hde1. hde1 was added as a > spare. It may still have good data. The disk being re-built is toast! > The other 2 may also have good data. I'm guessing it was rebuilding hdg since that was the first device I listed on the commandline. > If you are not sure, just ask another question. Thanks, Guy!
