Before posting here I have tried using the following resources for information: >Google >Distribution IRC channel (Ubuntu) >Linuxquestions.org My knowledge of Linux is beginner/moderate. My setup is: 9x1tb Hard Drives (2xhitachi and 7x Samsung HD103UJ) Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8 Port SATA Card 1xMotherboard SATA port Single RAID5 array created with mdadm, printout of /proc/mdstat: root@server3:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [r= aid4] [raid10] md0 : active raid5 sdj1[7] sdc1[0] sda1[8] sdg1[6] sdi1[9](F) sdd1[4] sde1[3] sdh1[2] sdf1[10](F) =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 7814079488 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [9/7]= [U_UUU_UUU] A printout of /var/messages is available here: http://pastebin.com/m649= 9846 as not to make this post any longer... (The array has been down for about a month now. It is my home storage server, non-critical, but I do not have a backup) Also a printout of =91mdadm --detail /dev/md0=92 is available here: http://pastebin.com/f44b6e069 I have used =91mdadm -v -A -f /dev/md0=92 to get the array online again= , and can read data (intact without errors) from the array, but it soon becomes degraded again. Any help on where to start would be greatly appreciated :) Jack -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
