Now, today, I wanted to determine which disk was failing, so I unmounted my array and unplugged drives - Specifically, three. The third was the culprit, and I plugged the drives back in and rebooted.
Just to be sure - did you do that on live array ? (it kinda looks like you did)
Below the first command, and separated by ten hyphens is --detail /dev/md0 which shows that the remaining device is marked "removed" and not "failed". I thank you for your help thusfar - You've allowed me to mount the array and access my data. However, I would very much like to get my RAID 5 back to non-degraded status ASAP.
You can add the drive/partition with --add option to the existing array. It will start rebuilding then, and it can take a while. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
