Hi all, we're hit by a RAID-5 issue, it seems Ubuntu 12.04 is shipping some bugged kernel/mdadm combination. Following the other thread about a similar issue, I understood it is possible to fix the array without losing data. Problems are: 1) We do not know the HDD order and it is a 5 disks RAID-5 2) 4 of 5 disks have a data offset of 264 sectors, while the fourth one, added later, has 1048 sectors. 3) There is a LVM setup on the array, not a plain filesystem. Any idea on how can we get the array back without losing any data? At the moment, it seems quite difficult to provide dump of "mdadm -E" or similar, since the PC does not boot at all. In any case, if necessary we could try to take a picture of the screen and send it here or directly per email, if appropriate. Thanks a lot in advance, bye, -- piergiorgio -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
