A system with 6 disks, it was UUUUUU a moment ago, after read errors on a file now looks like: /proc/mdstat: md1 : active raid5 sdf1[5] sde1[4] sdd1[3] sdc1[2] sdb1[6](F) sda1[7](F) level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/4] [__UUUU] uname: linux 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 What's the recommended approach? Compile 2.6.16.5 and mdadm 2.4.1, install both, reboot, then use mdadm assemble --force (after automatic mount probably fails)? - 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
