Okay,
I am nervous about losing 10+ years of personal data. Your help would
be greatly appreciated!
I now have all four drives copied (with ddrescue) from the originals.
The new copies are connected to the system; the original drives are
not. When attempting to boot from my normal boot drive, I see this
very early on in the boot process:
Booting...
errror: found two disks with the index 0 for RAID md/teramooch.
error: found two disks with the index 3 for RAID md/teramooch.
Later, once the dmesg material appears, I get to:
** WARNING: There appears to be one or more degraded RAID devices **
The system may have suffered a hardware fault, such as a disk drive
failure. The root device may depend on the RAID devices being online.
One or more of the following RAID devices are degraded:
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5]
[raid4] [raid10]
md0 : inactive sdi1[3](S) sdg1[0](S)
3907021954 blocks super 1.2
unused devices: <none>
You may attempt to start the system anyway, or stop now and attempt
manual recovery operations. To do this automatically in the future,
add "bootdegraded=true" to the kernel boot options.
If you choose to start the degraded RAID, the system may boot
normally, but performance may be degraded, and a further hardware
fault could result in permanent data loss.
If you abort now, you will be provided with a recovery shell.
Do you wish to start the degraded RAID [y/N]: Timed out
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/teramooch-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

I then rebooted and allowed the system rescue cd to boot. cat
/proc/mdstat gives
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5]
[raid4] [raid10]
md127 : inactive sda1[3](S) sdc1[0](S)
3907021954 blocks super 1.2
unused devices: <none>
What should I do from here?
Thanks,
Dave
