That would be fine. But we don't yet know which disk was trashed by the re-build. But as long as you have 1 missing disk it will not rebuild over any more data. If your command does not work try again with a different missing disk. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Hargrove [mailto:stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 4:37 PM To: Guy Cc: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Should I Start Over?

I'm going to enter the following command, right? # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdd1 missing > Did the original array have 3 disks and 1 spare?

The array was comprised of /dev/hdg1, /dev/hdd1, and /dev/hdc1. -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
