Just add --force the to --assemble command.
I think I'd assemble from only 3 drives, sdh, sdf and sdj, because sdi's
event count is so much lower it must be the one that was knocked out
first and you probably want to resync onto it (or a fresh drive if it's
actually faulty).
correct. And that is exactly what "mdadm --assemble --force" will decide
too. :-)
It will assemble from h, f, j and exclude i.
Ah - I didn't know it was clever enough to do that, I had assumed that
if you forced all the drives they'd all be marked up-to-date.
What should I do if I had 3 different event counts (like this case) all
fairly close to each other (unlike this case) and I really did want to
force them all, avoiding a resync?
Cheers,
John.
