It looks from the details you gave that it never was a three-disk set. It was only ever two-disk, possibly with a spare. > > This is kernel 2.4.32-rc1. With a recent 2.6 kernel, you could mdadm --grow --raid-disk=3 /dev/md1 but with a 2.4 kernel, the only option is to re-create the array: mdadm --stop /dev/md1 mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-disks=3 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1 missing mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/hdb1 NeilBrown - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
