Hello,
I had a raid 5 array with 3 drives. (on a USB 2.0 bus :)). After some
time, on drive failed. After some more time another drive failed and the
array stopped running.
I know that the usage pattern from the first failure to the second was
read-only, i.e as a user only reads were performed.
I also know that the cause of the drive's failures was that they just
dissapeared from the USB bus (probably from a bug in the hard drive's
enclosure's USB to IDE bridge)
I trashed the array anyway, but since I am new to linux md devices, I
was wishing that you could help me understand if there was any
possibility of getting it back up assuming that there was no data
corruption.
I run kernel 2.6.17 on a debian system and use mdadm for controlling the
array from user space.
