I have (had?) a raid 5 array, with 5 disks (1.5TB/EA), smartd warned one
was getting bad, so I replaced it with an identical disk.
I issued mdadm --manage --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdX
The array seemed to be rebuilding, was at around 15% when I went to bed.
This morning I came up to see the array degraded with two missing
drives, another failed during the rebuild.
I powered the system down, and since I have the disk smartd flagged as
bad and tried to just plug that in and power up hoping to see the array
come back up -no such luck (not enough disks).
I powered the system down again, and now I'm trying to evaluate my best
options to recover. Hoping to have some good advice in my inbox when I
get back from the office. I'll be able to boot the thing up and get log
info this afternoon.
Thanks!
Andreas
