So I just had 3 drives on a raid6 array marked as failed all at the same time. I think it's unlikely that all of the drives went bad at the same time so I am thinking the reason could be that one of my sata controllers died or something like that. I am thinking about moving the disks to other sata ports and then try to get the array running again. My question is what method I should use, force assemble? Re-add? Or something else? Would a force assemble be enough to unmark the disks as faulty? If I try to re-add, would it wipe the data on the drives? I'd rather not get my drives wiped in the process (for obvious reasons). And if anyone knows of a way I can furter investigate as of why the drives just got marked as failed all of a sudden I'd appreciate the help. -- 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
