Hi, i have a big problem. A had a sw raid5 array with 6 partition. The array has been damaged because problems of power connectors. 2 partitions/disks don't work, because during the time the SATA power connections didn't work. Some write/read operations where running. Now when i want to run the array loading the kernel, i get the next message: raid5: device sdl1 operational as raid disk 0 raid5: device sdj1 operational as raid disk 5 raid5: device sdh1 operational as raid disk 3 raid5: device sdg1 operational as raid disk 2 raid5: not enough operational devices for md0 (2/6 failed) RAID5 conf printout: --- rd:6 wd:4 fd:2 disk 0, o:1, dev:sdl1 disk 2, o:1, dev:sdg1 disk 3, o:1, dev:sdh1 disk 5, o:1, dev:sdj1 raid5: failed to run raid set md0 I think, that the dammaged partitions have to be used anyway, to get the datas back. I attached the result of "mdadm --examine". Could somebody help me?
