Hi all,
Hoping to find some information to help me recover my software raid5 array.
Some background information first (excuse the hostname)
uname -a
Linux Fuckyfucky3 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Wed May 9 23:03:12 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
It's a debian box that initially had 4 disks in a software raid5 array.
The problem started when I attempted to add another disk and grow the
array. I'd already done this from 3-4 disks using the instruction on
this page: "http://scotgate.org/?p=107";.
However this time I unmounted the volume, but didn't do a fsck before
starting. I also discovered that for some reason mdadm wasn't
monitoring the array.
Bad mistakes obviously - and I hope I've learnt from them.
Short version is that two of the disks had errors on them, and so mdadm
disabled those disks about 50MB into the reshape. Both failed SMART
tests subsequently.
I bought two new disks, and used dd-recue to make copies of them, which
seemed to work well.
Now however I can't restart the array.
I can see all 5 superblocks:

When I try to start the array, I get:
~# mdadm --assemble --verbose /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md1
mdadm: /dev/sda1 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 2.
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 1.
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 0.
mdadm: /dev/sdd1 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot -1.
mdadm: /dev/sde1 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot -1.
mdadm: added /dev/sdb1 to /dev/md1 as 1
mdadm: added /dev/sda1 to /dev/md1 as 2
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 3 of /dev/md1
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 4 of /dev/md1
mdadm: added /dev/sdd1 to /dev/md1 as -1
mdadm: failed to add /dev/sde1 to /dev/md1: Device or resource busy
mdadm: added /dev/sdc1 to /dev/md1 as 0
mdadm: /dev/md1 assembled from 3 drives and -1 spares - not enough to
start the array.
Any help would be much appreciated. If I can provide any more
information, just ask.
As to why /dev/sde1 is busy, I don't know. lsof shows no files open.
Regards,
Mark.
