Hello again, everyone. I've been really busy playing and working with mdadm tools lately. And I've come across a problem which I haven't been able to solve myself so far. My system looks like this: IDE: /dev/hda1 --> / 100 GB /dev/hda2 --> SWAP 1 GB /dev/hda3 --> /home 395 GB S-ATA onboard: /dev/hde1 --> Disk 0 on /dev/md0 /dev/hdg1 --> Disk 1 on /dev/md0 /dev/hdi1 --> Disk 2 on /dev/md0 /dev/hdk1 --> Disk 3 on /dev/md0 /dev/md0 --> via LVG mounted as /raid A loose cable caused hdi and hdk to go offline. The server itself was shut down 1 minute later. But I can't access the raid anymore because it marked the disks as failed. There was no write access to the system when the power went down on the two disks. How can I mark them as online (I'm pretty sure the data is still ok) ??? I really want to get the raid working again as I think this is a good scenario that I'd like to be able to handle in the future.
