Hi Phil
You're not providing enough information. Show the new vs. old
name/serial combinations, then show the --create and fsck
command/output, one by one.
sorry, here you go:
sdb -> sde Serial Number: JK1170YBHYV6MD
sdc -> sdf Serial Number: JK1100YAG64A1T
sdd -> sdg Serial Number: JK1121YAG7YDLS
sde -> sdh Serial Number: ML0220F30PZUVD
We know the possible order combinations:
sdc1 sdb1 sdd1 sde1
sdc1 sdd1 sdb1 sde1
sde1 sdb1 sdd1 sdc1
sde1 sdd1 sdb1 sdc1
so I used this combinations:
sdf1 sde1 sdg1 sdh1
sdf1 sdg1 sde1 sdh1
sdh1 sde1 sdg1 sdf1
sdh1 sdg1 sde1 sdf1
For now, use data offset 2048 for all of them.
output of all eight combinations:
mdadm --create --assume-clean -l5 -n4 --chunk=64 --data-offset=2048
