Due to an extended power outage over the new year, I have a RAID5 array
with two dirty devices so it won't come up. The HOWTO suggests running:

 mdadm --assemble --force

Is this good advice? I'm running RedHat 9 so I don't have mdadm but of
course I'm happy to install it.

Thanks

John

I suggest you talk to/find the MD people.  LVM != RAID/MD.  However, yes, 
this is the only thing that might help you AFAIK.
