Hello all,
I had a disk fail in a raid 5 array (4 disk array, no spares), and am
having trouble recovering it. I believe my data is still safe, but I
cannot tell what is going wrong here.
When I try to rebuild the array "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda2
/dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2" I see "failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md0:
Input/output error".
dmesg shows the following:
md: bind<sdb2>
md: bind<sdc2>
md: bind<sdd2>
md: bind<sda2>
md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction
raid5: device sda2 operational as raid disk 0
raid5: device sdc2 operational as raid disk 2
raid5: device sdb2 operational as raid disk 1
raid5: cannot start dirty degraded array for md0
RAID5 conf printout:
--- rd:4 wd:3 fd:1
disk 0, o:1, dev:sda2
disk 1, o:1, dev:sdb2
disk 2, o:1, dev:sdc2
raid5: failed to run raid set md0
md: pers->run() failed ...
/proc mdstat shows:
md0 : inactive sda2[0] sdd2[3](S) sdc2[2] sdb2[1]
This seems wrong, as sdd2 should not be a spare - I want it to be the
fourth disk.
The output of mdadm -E for each disk is as follows:

Does anyone have any idea how to get this array back into good shape?
I'm not sure why it thinks sdd2 should be a spare, or how to get it back
to being a regular disk.
I would appreciate any help you can offer. (Also, am I right in thinking
my data is still good? I should still have 3 of the 4 disks working fine,
at any rate.)
Thanks,
Eric
