So your drives are now hde, hdg, hdo, hdh, hdm, hdn, hdp. Something like mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 hd[egohmnp] should do the trick. -- BTW, speaking of mdadm, with no config file, the commands mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 mdadm --assemble --scan /dev/md0 mdadm --assemble --scan /dev/md0 /dev/hd[egohmnp] all segfault. They're probably not sensible commands to run, but it should give an error in that case. -jim - 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
