Looks like you need to stop in (mdadm -S /dev/md2) and re-assemble it with --force: mdadm -A /dev/md2 -f /dev/sd[abcefgh]1 It looks like the computer crashed and when it came back up it was missing a drive. This situation can result in silent data corruption, which is why md won't automatically assemble it. When you do assemble it, you should at least fsck the filesystem, and possibly check for data corruption if that is possible. At least be aware that some data could be corrupt (there is a good chance that nothing is, but it is by no means certain). > this is mdadm 1.12, just another site note there is no rpm for version > 2.0:-( No. I seem to remember some odd compile issue with making the RPM and thinking "I don't care". Maybe I should care a bit more....
