Hello good people of linux-raid.
Your output seems to indicate that you have one drive with an event count
that is 6 events off the others. This most likely means it's safe to use
--assemble --force in order to make this get accepted.
Thanks, as per my original email I get an error message: "...assembled
from 3 drives and 1 spare - not enough to start the array ". Am I
doing something wrong?
Hm, I just noticed this was with --force already.
From your log:
mdadm: added /dev/sde to /dev/md0 as 1
mdadm: added /dev/sdd to /dev/md0 as 2
mdadm: added /dev/sdb to /dev/md0 as 3 (possibly out of date)
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 8 of /dev/md0
mdadm: added /dev/sdc to /dev/md0 as 5
mdadm: added /dev/sdf to /dev/md0 as 0
mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 3 drives and 1 spare - not enough to
start the array.
I don't know how to make the drives that are set as faulty to be
considered non-faulty. It looks like you have all the drives needed but
that they're not considered ok.
Let's hope someone else can answer. You could probably get everything
working by doing a correct --create --assume-clean command but I don't
feel comfortable enough to give you an advice what the command should be
exactly (order, offset etc). It would be good to understand why the drives
marked faulty aren't used with --assemble-force though.
