Damn!!! I was doing some testing at the behest of Doug, when I made a critical error which locked up the system and now the main array won't assemble, at all. I issued the command `mdadm -G /dev/md0 -b internal --bitmap-chunk=65535` And the system complained it was an invalid chunk-size, so I tried: `mdadm -G /dev/md0 -b internal --bitmap-chunk=65536` This time there was no error, but the command line just hung solid. I tired everything I could to recover, but the system just went downhill more and more. Finally I tried a shutdown, but even that would not work. I had to hit the big red switch, and now when I rebooted the system, mdadm will not assemble the array no matter what I try. I tried `mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 -f` `mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 -u xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxx:xxxxxx:xxxxxx` etc. It just keeps saying, "No devices found for md0". When I issue the --examine switch, the information all looks good for all the drives, just no RAID. What do I do, now?
