I have a storage box that I'm attempting to get data off of. The box was pulled by another because mdadm shut the md device off due to hard drive errors. and because the OS harddive (separate) had a motor failure. I replace the OS drive and install a fresh copy of Ubuntu server 14.04. When I brought the machine up I thought we were in luck because it auto assembled and started the Raid 6 array were all the data is. But it showed that 2 of the 15 drives were off line... [UUUUUU_UUUUU_UU] something like that. So I mounted the fs and began a tar backup to another storage location overnight. During the night it failed a third drive (which is probably what brought it down in the first place.) I have been able to repair the drive with Seagate's SeaTools. Now I want to plug the drive back in and bring the array up in the 2-drive degraded state. How do I do this? how do I specify a command to take these 15 drives, mark two of them failed and force the assembly and start of the remaining 13 good drives (though one has probably been marked as failed in the past?) - Jeff -- 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
