This is not an option in assemble mode either. It looks as though the 
array has to be recreated. I'm not sure why any of these options are not 
provided for assemble.

Anyway, in the end I did an "assemble --force" after stopping what was 
left (5 drives dropped from a 16 drive RAID6), and it strated but did 
not initiate a resync.

Perhaps the behaviour here has changed, because I'm sure when I've done 
this in the past, it resyncs straight away.

There were some somewhat strange errors in the log:

The cause is a controller problem, but after the first 2 drives were 
disabled, I don't know why there were "raid5: Operation continuing 
on..." messages as another 3 drives were offlined. A RAID6 array should 
stop when a third device fails.

Richard
