Actually the RAID wiki suggests exactly this path, and suggests against --force, contrary to the advice I've gotten here from Neil and others. https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery#Restore_array_by_recreating_.28after_multiple_device_failure.29 I could update this, but not being expert all it'd say is "use --assemble --force; if it fails ask on the mailing list." :) Perhaps that's actually the best advice to give, but if there's something more useful to put on that page maybe someone with more expertise could update it? --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
