Hello all,
I run an 8-disk raid 6 on which sporadically 2 drives dropped out, that I could just re-add when I zeroed the zuperblock beforehand. Recently, upon re-adding those 2 drives (after the zero-superblock) a third drive dropped out after 5-10 minutes of syncing. I then did a zero-superblock on the third drive and tried to re-add it - which failed.
I'm pretty much at my wits' end and stumbled upon this list. Perhaps someone of you guys can help me out. I'm running an ubuntu 12.04 box with kernel 3.3.8, so I should not be affected by the kernel-bug that popped up some time ago.
I append the output of mdadm --detail as well as mdadm --examine...
