I have written some posts about this before... My 6 disk RAID 5 broke
down because of hardware failure. When I tried to get it up'n'running again
I did a --create without any missing disk, which made it rebuild. I have
also lost all information about how the old RAID was set up..
I got a friend of mine to make a list of all the 6^6 combinations of dev
1 2 3 4 5 missing, and set it up this way :
"mdadm --create -n 6 -l 5 dev1 2 3 4 5 missing ; fdisk -l /dev/md0 ;
mdadm --stop /dev/md0" .
But a "cat logfile | grep Linux" of the output of this script tells me
that on no of these combination does it find a valid "type 83" partition.
shouldn't this work ???
