Please use "mdadm -E /dev/sdc1" to recheck your data offset. If that wasn't it, please show the hexdump for the entire luks signature. I'd like to see its payload offset. Also, if you go back to --chunk=512, open the luks, you could run the following command to find possible superblock locations: hexdump -C /dev/mapper/md2_nas |egrep '^[0-9a-f]+30 .+ 53 ef' >sb.lst (May take a long time to read the whole array) Phil -- 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
