Hi,
Powercable to a disk in the 3 disk RAID-5 array got detached and
afterwards mdadm -D shows this drive to be removed. dmesg says it got
kicked out.
I tried to "mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2" and got following message:
mdadm: /dev/sdb2 reports being an active member for /dev/md1, but a
--re-add fails.
mdadm: not performing --add as that would convert /dev/sdb2 in to a spare.
mdadm: To make this a spare, use "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb2" first.
I then tried "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb2" and then add again
and this time it says "mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdb2 as
4: Invalid argument"
Doing --zero-superblock was perhaps a mistake?
Below are output from -D, -E & dmesg.
Any suggestions on how to fix this is appreciated!
