Long story short, I was messing around with my RAID6 array and I managed to screw up two of the drives in my 7-drive 1-spare array. I had problems in the middle of a kernel upgrade and I kept getting errors about various drives having bad superblocks. So without knowing much about what I was doing, I did a --zero-superblock on all the drives in the array. So now I can't reassemble the array. After reading through the linux-raid archives I have been lead to believe that I can recover my array by doing a --create and listing the 7 drives in the exact order I originally created them in. Is this correct? If so, the kernel upgrade managed to shuffle the drive names around...is there any way I can figure out what order they should be in? -A
