Hello,
the raid5 on my Iomega Storecenter ix4 is not starting up anymore.
as far as i can see, 2 of the Memberdisks were switched from active to
spare.
configuration: 4x 1TB Harddrive, no changes done, error occured while
running.
the funny thing is, there is an additional raid5 (1GB on each disk) that is
still running.
waht are the chances the data on the drives is still intact, how can i get
the
raid running again and how risky is the process (is it neccesary to get
additional drives for cloning)?
here the mdadm --examine ouput
