Hi, all -- ...and then davidtg-robot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said... % % ...and then antlists said... % % % % So *you* should choose re-add. Let mdadm choose add if it can't do a re-add. % % Thanks. Sooooo ... Given this ... % does this % % mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --re-add /dev/sdd1 % % look like the right next step? Perhaps it did, but it wasn't to be: diskfarm:root:10:~> mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --re-add /dev/sdd1 mdadm: --re-add for /dev/sdd1 to /dev/md0 is not possible So we'll try "add" diskfarm:root:10:~> mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdd1 mdadm: added /dev/sdd1 and now we wait :-) Thanks again to all :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt
