Hello, I've experienced a catastrophic RAID-5 failure and while researching what to do about it I came across the raid.wiki.kernel.org page and will immediately encouraged by the first recommendation: don't panic. I have tried the basic diagnostic steps on that page and attempted a -force to reassemble the array but it's not worked for me. Rather than stumble about in the dark I thought it might be better to follow the recommendations on that page and request the assistance of the kind folk on this list. I am running Centos 6.2 on an HP Proliant N36L. The array was pretty straight forward and was created by Webmin. Last night I discovered that the array was degraded and I wis in the process of reintroducing sdb (I think that it was sdb).

Likewise checking the event count did not result in anything useful.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated!
