The example was in that link I sent: mdadm --create /dev/md/imsm /dev/sd[bde] -e imsm mdadm --create /dev/md/vol0 /dev/sde missing /dev/sdb /dev/sdd -n 4 -l 5 The first command marks all devices as spares. The second creates the degraded array. You probably want at least sdb and sdd in there since they have a copy of the metadata. -- Dan -- 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
