Oh, sorry! I thought the fact I got it to assemble meant I didn't need to issue the command again... Indeed, it won't let me issue it again. it says: RAID-Server:/etc/cron.d# mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sd[a-j] -vvv mdadm: device /dev/md0 already active - cannot assemble it Should I stop the arraya nd re-assemble it with -vvv? Also, what about my question about the bitmap? Should I delete it, despite the fact mdadm says there isn't one, or should I attempt to add it again, or should I wait until I do the checkarrray? -- 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
