Your initial report was pretty good. I looked, this seems to have aged out.

I’m currently out of physical slots for drives so this poses a challenge, plus the machine is 250 mi away, but I do have console/IPMI. > I should have to say, but I hope you have a backup :-) There is a qcow file on the mirrored SSDs which seems to be ok as I was able to SCP it off to another host once I found space to toss a 800gb file. I may even be mailing you from said qcow. it seems others were able to perhaps recover from not quite exact situations by stopping and forcing a reassemble, but as copying 800gb would take a few hours again, I’m nervous to perform such an action. e.g.: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1707416 I guess this means when I visit the machine next week I should take the large external drive array and sas controller card I have here at home as a checked bag. - Jared-- 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
