Okay - it's worked - as in I've got a working array back - a two-drive
raid 5 array with two spares.

So hwo do I now get it to rebuild successfully to give me a working full
raid 5?

I'm guessing it should be "mdadm --grow --raid-devices=3
--backup-file=whatever", but I think I've already tried that, and that's
what got me into this mess :-)

I'm trying to get access to the linux-raid wiki, so once I've got this
working, and I've got the access, all this stuff is going to be written
up and posted to the wiki :-)

Cheers,
Wol
