George, Thank you for staying with me. I tried both commands you sent to me, but still does not work. Here is my session: [root@server ~]# mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: error opening /dev/md0: No such file or directory [root@server ~]# [root@server ~]# mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2 mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde2: No such file or directory mdadm: /dev/sde2 has no superblock - assembly aborted thank you, donald On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 3:43 PM, George Rapp <george.rapp@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 9:40 AM, George Rapp <george.rapp@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 1:03 PM, d c <c866e866e@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> >>> mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2 >>> mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde2: Device or resource busy >>> mdadm: /dev/sde2 has no superblock - assembly aborted >> >> Donald - >> >> Try "mdadm --stop /dev/md0" before --assemble.
