-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Software RAID and the hell with IDE drives... I built a software raid 5 with 9 disks, over that md0 I buitl a dmcrypt partition and it went well for a year. Now, after moving the PC some miles away, the fun started. First everything was OK, RAID started and worked well. After a night one HD backed off, mdadm won't let that HD be part of the raid, although nothing changed on the HD and it seems to still works fine. OK, chnaged that HD with a new one and try to reconstruct the RAID. And bingo, after 80% of reconstruct I get another drive ready, seek complete error of another HD, so that I can't reconstruct the raid. But the raid starts in first place. What to do best now? Start raid and copy all data to some other HDs? try to recover the raid?
