JBOD controller failed this morning - we've replaced it, and all drives are being presented to the system again, however 'mdadm' refuses to assemble the ARRAY.

I'm guessing I'll need to recreate with '--assemble-clean' [root@dsfs01 ~]cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.6 (Final) [root@dsfs01 ~]mdadm --version mdadm - v3.3 - 3rd September 2013 [root@dsfs01 ~]uname -r 3.14.33 [root@dsfs01 ~]mdadm -A --force --verbose /dev/md10 /dev/sdbj /dev/sdbk /dev/sdbl /dev/sdbm /dev/sdbn /dev/sdbo /dev/sdbp /dev/sdbq /dev/sdbi /dev/sdbr /dev/sdbs /dev/sdbt mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md10 mdadm: /dev/sdbj is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 0. mdadm: /dev/sdbk is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 1. mdadm: /dev/sdbl is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 2. mdadm: /dev/sdbm is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 3. mdadm: /dev/sdbn is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 4. mdadm: /dev/sdbo is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 5. mdadm: /dev/sdbp is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 6. mdadm: /dev/sdbq is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 7. mdadm: /dev/sdbi is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 8. mdadm: /dev/sdbr is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 9. mdadm: /dev/sdbs is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 10. mdadm: /dev/sdbt is identified as a member of /dev/md10, slot 11. mdadm: added /dev/sdbk to /dev/md10 as 1 mdadm: added /dev/sdbl to /dev/md10 as 2 mdadm: added /dev/sdbm to /dev/md10 as 3 mdadm: added /dev/sdbn to /dev/md10 as 4 mdadm: added /dev/sdbo to /dev/md10 as 5 mdadm: added /dev/sdbp to /dev/md10 as 6 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbq to /dev/md10 as 7 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbi to /dev/md10 as 8 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbr to /dev/md10 as 9 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbs to /dev/md10 as 10 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbt to /dev/md10 as 11 (possibly out of date) mdadm: added /dev/sdbj to /dev/md10 as 0 mdadm -E /dev/sdbj /dev/sdbj: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 903cfc6d:921b0a84:c0b4bc7e:27e28c86 Name : dsfs01:10 (local to host dsfs01) Creation Time : Tue Nov 5 03:37:14 2013 Raid Level : raid6 Raid Devices : 12 Avail Dev Size : 7813775024 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Array Size : 39068871680 (37258.98 GiB 40006.52 GB) Used Dev Size : 7813774336 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=262064 sectors, after=688 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 3bd0e7f2:cfc24add:122a7354:049efe95 Update Time : Wed Mar 25 08:21:34 2015 Checksum : 4a952f6a - correct Events : 7641 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 256K Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : AAAAAA......
