Hi, I have a raid5 out of 4 drives where 2 drives failed and were removed. Since it happened during backup I would very much like to reactivate the array to rescue as much data as there are intact. When I try to assemble the array with mdadm it tells me that there are not enough devices. Is there a way to convince mdadm to use the faulty drive to get a working array?
