Hello. I have an 8 device RAID6. There are 4 drives on each of two controllers and it looks like one of the controllers failed temporarily. The system has been rebooted and all the individual drives are available again but the array has not auto-assembled, presumably because the Events count is different... 92806 on 4 drives, 92820 on the other 4. And of course the sick feeling in my stomach tells me that I haven't got recent backups of all the data on there. What is the best/safest way to try and get the array up and working again? Should I just work through https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Recovering_a_failed_software_RAID ? Is there anything special I can or should do given the raid is holding encrypted LVM volumes? The array is the only PV in a VG holding LVs that are LUKS encrypted, within which are (mainly) XFS filesystems. The LVs/filesystems with the data I'd be most upset about losing weren't decrypted/mounted at the time. Is that likely to improve the odds of recovery? Thanks for your 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
