Hi,
I've been struggling with a SAS card recently that has had poor driver support
for a long time, and tonight its decided to kick every drive in the array one
after the other. Now mdstat shows:
md1 : active raid5 sdf[0](F) sdh[7](F) sdi[6](F) sdj[5](F) sde[3](F) sdd[2](F)
sdg[1](F)
5860574208 blocks super 1.1 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/0]
[_______]
bitmap: 3/8 pages [12KB], 65536KB chunk
Does the fact that I'm using a bitmap save my rear here? Or am I hosed? If I'm
not hosed, is there a way I can recover the array without rebooting? maybe
just a --stop and a --assemble ? If that won't work, will a reboot be ok?
I'd really prefer not to have lost all of my data. Please tell me (please)
that it is possible to recover the array. All but sdi are still visible in
/dev (I may be able to get it back via hotplug maybe, but it'd get sdk or
something).
