My system locked up during the reshape to raid 6 and the system came back in a rather odd state. 2 of the original drives were knocked out of the array 400 GB short and all other drives indicate they are completley synced I would not be concerned if it was the drives I was expanding too. SDD1 and SDE1 were the drives knocked out early, and the new drives are SDG1 and SDH1. I have tried to reassemble them correctly but I get the following error: mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdj1 /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1 mdadm: superblock on /dev/sdc1 doesn't match others - assembly aborted I am testing with the raid readonly to see if I lost any data, is there any other tips you guys can provide? /dev/sdc1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : 78e59241:4bbafd48:2109fad5:2e345672 Creation Time : Fri Oct 16 00:19:20 2009 Raid Level : raid6 Used Dev Size : 976759936 (931.51 GiB 1000.20 GB) Array Size : 7814079488 (7452.09 GiB 8001.62 GB) Raid Devices : 10 Total Devices : 8 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Tue Jun 1 06:24:19 2010 State : clean Active Devices : 8 Working Devices : 8 Failed Devices : 2 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 8e7c4722 -
