It saved my raid10 array. You mean you sdc and sde plus either sdb or sdd, depending on which one I think is more sane a this point? mdadm -E before http://pastebin.com/f46EWXEA vs after http://pastebin.com/Kp145Mkx indicates sdb1 is missing a few events, dunno if that's too much to be usable at this point? Can the create-process be done "read-only", so that I don't have to use extra disks? If I've understood things correctly --create will only overwrite the superblocks, not touch the data? So I could do: mdadm -C /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 misssing /dev/sde1 I suppose the 33% restored spare sdf1 won't help any in this situation?
