Dear List, due to a controller failure, a raid6 with 16 drives lost 4 drives at once. The failure was noticed a few days later. a examine output of all 16 drive is listed at http://pastebin.com/4WH9xp7K As you can see the event count differs on 4 drives with about 150 comparing to the other 12 drives. I have already tried: mdadm --assemble --scan: assembled from 12 drives - not enough to start the array. Then i tried: mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdj1 /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1 /dev/sdm1 /dev/sdn1 /dev/sdo1 /dev/sdp1 --force /proc/mdstat after that: Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : inactive sda1[0](S) sdp1[15](S) sdo1[14](S) sdn1[13](S) sdm1[12](S) sdl1[11](S) sdk1[10](S) sdj1[9](S) sdi1[8](S) sdh1[7](S) sdg1[6](S) sdf1[5](S) sde1[4](S) sdd1[3](S) sdc1[2](S) sdb1[1](S) 62353932288 blocks super 1.2 No success either. So the next try would be recreating the array ? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
