Hello, i had the idea to check old mails and found that: active raid5 sda4[0] sdf4[5] sde4[4] sdd4[3](F) sdc4[2] sdb4[1], after that i see that sf4 fails too. So all looks like the sdd4 fails first. Now is the question which steps i have to make for rescue - blocks sizes etc. - now i would do "mdadm --create --level 5 -n 6 --chunk=512 --assume-clean /dev/md2 /dev/sd{a,b,c,f,e}4 missing" and than mount the raid into the mountpoint to look to the files. is that the way? need 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
