I have images of all 5 drives in my set. The set looks like this right now. /dev/sda1 - active sync /dev/sdb1 - faulty /dev/sdc1 - faulty removed /dev/sdd1 - active sync /dev/sde1 - active sync I am lead to believe that the way to proceed would be to force-assemble the array with mdadm. Should I start with 4 drives, or try to do all 5 at once? Which should I leave out? -- 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
