The array still reports as clean, but I haven't tried to mount it yet. This array started out as a RAID1, which I changed to RAID5, added a disk, reshaped, and added a spare to. This worked great and I used it for a couple weeks before deciding to go to RAID6. Looking at the output of 'mdadm -E' and 'mdadm -D' (again in the other post), it looks like there's some inconsistency in the raid device for /dev/sde1. -E reports it as number 4 and raid device 4. But, -D says /dev/sde1 is number 4 and raid device 3. Don't know if that means anything, but it's the only thing I see that looks unusual. Since the array is clean, is it safe to mount it? It's actually a luks volume, fwiw. Thanks -- hatta00@xxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
