Hey, I've added 2 new disks to an existing raid5 array and started the grow process. The grow process was unsuccessfull because it stalled at 98.1% and the system log show a long list of "compute_blocknr: map not correct". I'm not able to mount the array or stop it at all. The 'mount' command and 'mdadm' just stall in middle of their execution. So now I want to recover as much data as possible, but its not possible since I cant read from the filesystem on the array, because 'mount' stall. Now I want to assemble the array without starting the reshape process after rebooting, but I cant find this option in the manual of mdadm. I'm suspecting the reshape process is the problem and thats why I dont want it to start. I'm hoping it will be possible to use the array and read from it, if the reshape process it not started. Am I just blind or is it not possible to start an array without starting the reshape process?
