we cant put this array into active state.
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).
it works. but shouldn't it have to be both inactive or active?
or seems to works, but now do nothing?!:
