Hello,
I have a RAID5 that recently failed. sda-sdd are on the same SATA controller and
every thing was running fine, until Linux decided it was a good idea to disable
the controllers interrupt. After a reboot the RAID isn't starting anymore.
Before I do something stupid, I wanted to ask if the following command will
probably restore the array with minimal data corruption.
mdadm --assemble /dev/md6 --run --force /dev/sda8 /dev/sdb8 /dev/sdc8 /dev/sdd8
mdadm /dev/md6 -a /dev/sde1
Looking at the events counter, sda-sdc agree and sdd is very close so I'd guess
that I have the best chances at getting as little corruption as possible. Or does
it make more sense to start it with all disks active?
