Basically it just states waiting X seconds for /dev/sdx3 (corresponding to the missing raid5 member). Where X cycles from 2,4,8,16 and then drops you into a recovery console, no root pwd prompt. It will only occur if the partition is completely missing, such as a replacement disk with a blank partition table, or a completely missing/failed drive. > is it trying to fsck some filesystem it doesn't have access to? No fsck seen for bad extX partitions etc. Cheers, Lewis - 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
