Hello, 2 drives have failed on my raid5 setup and I need to recover the data on the raid. I am sure that the drives still works or at least one of them still works. How do I recover my drives? I can't mount the raid no more and I am missing a hard drive when i run ls /dev/sd? I have 7 drives on my raid. Here is output of /var/log/messages in following link http://matx.pastebin.com/m35423452 also some more information tom@desu ~ $ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath] md2 : inactive sdc1[1] sdd1[4] sdf1[3] sde1[2] 1953214208 blocks tom@desu ~ $ sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md2 Password: /dev/md2: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Thu Sep 4 20:14:31 2008 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 488303552 (465.68 GiB 500.02 GB) Raid Devices : 7 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Thu Jan 29 21:16:34 2009 State : active, degraded, Not Started Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K UUID : cf3d1948:1d0e65b6:c028c7c8: 56f0c54c Events : 0.1411738 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 0 0 0 removed 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 2 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 3 8 81 3 active sync /dev/sdf1 4 8 49 4 active sync /dev/sdd1 5 0 0 5 removed 6 0 0 6 removed Thank you for your time in advance. -- 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
