Subject: Raid 5 - not clean and then a failure.

Guys,

I have been having some problems with my arrays that I think i have nailed down to a pci controller (well I say that - it is always the drives connected to *a* controller but I have tried 2!) anyway the latest saga is i was trying some new kernel options last night - which didn't work.

But when i booted up again this morning it said one of the drives was in an inconsistent state (not sure of the *exact* error message). I then kicked off an add of the drive and it started syncing. It got about 5% in and then the second drive in on that controller complained and the array failed. 

Is there any hope for my data? If i get a good controller in there will the resync continue? can I try and tell it to assume the drives are good (which they ought to be)?

Please help!
