Sorry to spam.. if i run 'mdadm --assemble --scan -R' the array assemles in an inactive state but it is suggesting i use force.. but I am worried about doing damage? Also, perhaps some extra commands for thick people would be cool? i.e. force for things that are ideal.. like mounting an incomplete array but having to specifiy it twice i.e. '-F -F' for things that can do damage?
