Hi All,
I'm not sure that is entirely the case. From a hardware perspective,
I can access all the disks from the OS, via fdisk and dd. It is really
just mdadm that is failing. Would I still need to work the jumper issue?
Thanks,
Nate

OK, so if you have a pair of IDE disks, jumpered as Master and slave,
and if one fails:
If Master failed, re-jumper remaining disk on pair on same cable as
Master, no slave present
If Slave failed, re-jumper remaining disk on pair on same cable as
Master, no slave present.
Then you will have the remaining disk working normally, at least.
When you can afford it I suggest buying a controller with enough ports
to support the number of drives you have, with no Master/Slave pairing.
Good luck !
And to the software guys trying to help: We need to start with the
(obvious) hardware problem, before we advise on how to recover data from
a borked system..
Once he has the jumpering on the drives sorted out, the drive that went
missing will be back again..
