Hi all, There is a problem with my Linux installation, and the drives get renamed and reordered all the time. Now, it just happened that the two degraded RAID5s won't return to life. The system would not boot, so I panicked and deleted: fstab, mdadm.conf, and some of the superblocks. Now Linux boots, but RAIDs are, of course, dead. I tried to re-create the arrays, but I cannot recall the correct order and my attempts failed. I believe that the partitions are OK, because I don't recall re-creating without "missing", but surely the superblocks are damaged and certainly most of them are zero now. Is there a short way to recover the degraded RAIDs without knowing the order of drives? I have 6 drives in one (including "missing"), that gives 720 permutations. Also, clearing the superblocks is recoverable, isn't it?
