Hey I have a 2 controllers: Promise SATA150 TX4 and Promise SATA300 TX4. 2 disks are connected to the SATA150 and 4 disks are connected to SATA300. The 6 disks are part of a raid5 array. Today the SATA300 controller failed and the 4 disks were excluded from the array. The array was inactive the moment the 4 disks were excluded. After rebooting all controllers and disks are online again. But now i have trouble starting the array and i could really use some input from smarter minds on this list. Here's some output i gathered: # cat /proc/mdstat: md5 : active raid5 sdg1[6](F) sdf1[7](F) sde1[8](F) sdd1[9](F) sdc1[5] sdb1[4] 1562842880 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/2] [____UU] The 4 failed disks are the ones connected to the failed controller. The following is after the reboot. # cat /proc/mdstat: md5 : inactive sdb1[4] sdc1[5] sdg1[3] sdf1[2] sde1[1] sdd1[0] 1875411456 blocks I then did the following in hope that it would help: # mdadm -S /dev/md5 mdadm: stopped /dev/md5 # mdadm -As /dev/md5 mdadm: /dev/md5 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array. No luck! What can i do to get it up and running again?
