Hi,
I'm new to this mailing list but I subscribed because of this problem
with my raid5.
I really don't want to mess this up and it was clearly suggested to not
rush things on the wiki. So I'm looking for help :)
My raid has been running great for a long time now but I think it needs
so serious maintenance.
I have a 4 disks raid 5 on ArchLinux, mdadm version 3.3.1.
First, the raid status :

Obvisously the event count is wrong on 2 disks. One disk has been gone
for a long time now...
1 - First question : how can I safely assemble the raid to the latest
sync state? I don't want to mess this up.
2 - Does this mean my hard drives are dead, or simply desync?
Also I tried to force assemble :
mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sde
mdadm: /dev/sda is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdb is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sde is busy - skipping
What should I do now?
Thank you!
Marc
