Hi all, Thanks a lot for your time. I appreciate . Immediate Feedback (with jet lag :) - Roger, I’ve already forced the —- assemble, just forget to write it , no more mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md127 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh mdadm: /dev/md127 assembled from 5 drives - not enough to start the array. I’ll move to raid6 , that was my 1st choice, but i didn’t build it Phil, Md0 .. I got the point, I will use it again to avoid mistakes ============== OUTPUT of : or x in /dev/sd[b-h] ; do mdadm -E $x ; smartctl -iA -l scterc $x ; done > report.txt /dev/sdb: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x1 Array UUID : e0890308:1fd11c2e:138b5542:4b5cdc62 Name : Cerebro:0 (local to host Cerebro) Creation Time : Sat Feb 7 23:02:47 2015 Raid Level : raid5 Raid Devices : 7 Avail Dev Size : 3906767024 (1862.89 GiB 2000.26 GB) Array Size : 11720300544 (11177.35 GiB 12001.59 GB) Used Dev Size : 3906766848 (1862.89 GiB 2000.26 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=262056 sectors, after=176 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 3c496797:3cf85a2f:295fbd9b:2e077213 Internal Bitmap : 8 sectors from superblock Update Time : Sun Apr 12 06:10:59 2015 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 72 sectors Checksum : 15dbf80e - correct Events : 21958 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 512K Device Role : Active device 5 Array State : AAAA.A.
