I have a 10 disk raid6 with internal write intent bitmap here
(softraid, build and managed via mdadm). For whatever reason one of
the 3 promise SATA 300 TX controllers went offline and took 4 of
these 10 disks with it. After reboot the array was assembled with 8
out of 10 disks - sda2 and sdb2 missing. When I tried to re-add sda2
sdc - which is one of the "active" disks - reported a read error on
sector 54631. Ok - seems I have a problem.
I stopped all activities at this point to ask here what I can do to
reassemble the array with a minimum loss of data.
Except the offline disks sda2 and sdb2 all other disks report 19
dirty chunks (mdadm -X). The offline disks report 7 dirty chunks.
If one needs any further data - just ask.
Hoping for assistance
Ralf Müller
