Mikael, Thank you for your great help! I could assemble /dev/md0 by using only /dev/sd[bde], and mount it (read only) to /home. # mdadm --misc --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: stopped /dev/md0 # mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bde] mdadm: forcing event count in /dev/sdb(0) from 34220 upto 34224 mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 3 drives (out of 4). # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid10] md0 : active raid10 sdb[0] sde[3] sdd[2] 3907028992 blocks 1024K chunks 2 near-copies [4/3] [U_UU] unused devices: <none> > You need to figure out what happened to get sdb kicked out of the array, > check logs and "dmesg".

I'm going to copy files from /dev/md0 to anywhere else as soon as possible. Should I repair filesystem before copying? (like xfs_repair /dev/md0) Oct 23 18:11:29 localhost kernel: sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [descriptor] Oct 23 18:11:29 localhost kernel: Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex): Oct 23 18:11:29 localhost kernel: 72 03 11 04 00 00 00 0c 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 00 Oct 23 18:11:29 localhost kernel: 11 af 30 10 Oct 23 18:11:29 localhost kernel: sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Add.
