After all your drives are visible, of course: `mdadm --examine /dev/sd* /dev/hd* > <filename>` `more <filename>` Make note of the array UUID for each drive. When done, `mdadm --assemble --assume-clean /dev/mdX /dev/<drive0> /dev/<drive1> /dev/<drive2> ...etc` where <drive0>, <drive1>, etc are all members of the same array UUID. Mount the file system, and fsck it. Once everything is verified good, `echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action` `mdadm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf` -- 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
