I am considering ordering one of these new 8TB hard disks so I can raw copy the raid partitions before I try anything drastic. Unfortunately even 8TB won't fit 4x3TB of data. :-/ I am fairly certain my data is still good since all disks have a clean bill of health and other partitions on them worked with bonnie. So, I figure my biggest risk right now, is doing something else stupid. The system remains bootable as the uefi+boot+root filesystems were on RAID1 x4 arrays and not the data RAID5 array. I'm hesitant to take action until I find away to store the raw partitions, but installing 3.19 and booting that from my existing root partition sounds harmless enough. The system does not have a CD-ROM and has insufficient SATA connectors to attach one. I could try booting via a USB drive, though. -- 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
