Hi All, I have an Ubuntu Hardy 64-bit system with mdadm 2.6.9. I have a 6-drive RAID 10 named md1. Unfortunately, there was some power outage and when the system came back up, it showed 2 drives as failed and 4 as active. I removed the two failed drives from the array using -r, and then added them back in using --add and --force. The array will not rebuild though. It simply shows now these two drives as spares. I doubt the data is actually lost since it was a sudden outage. What can I do from here to get mdadm to activate this array and kick off rebuild if needed? I'm really stuck. Thanks in advance for any help.
