To clarify: you should not literally add it using the "--add" switch (that'd make mdadm think it's a new device needed to be filled up via resync), but instead make mdadm see this device instead hda. I'd try stopping the array, listing only the devices you want in mdadm.conf "DEVICES" lines (and ensuring hda3 is not there), then just doing mdadm --assemble. -- With respect, Roman
