Hello Everyone, is there an option to specifiy the "Unused Space : before=...." Superblock information in mdadm -C ....? My Raid crashed due to a controller error, but I was able to make the new superblock almost identical to the old one (using mdadm -C --assume-clean --level=6 --raid-devices=11 --chunk=256K --metadata=1.2 --bitmap=None --size=195328588 --data-offset=128768 /dev/md0 /dev/mapper/disk[cdefmbjkh] missing). Looking at mdadm --examine the only difference left is: old layout: Unused Space : before=257456 sectors, after=197632 sectors new layout: Unused Space : before=257448 sectors, after=197632 sectors Is there an option to change that or anything else I can do to make the layouts identical? The assembled raid refuses to mount, and I suspect this difference to be the reason.
