Hello,

I had to shutdown my machine for moving - when I powered it back up my
raid-5 array is in a bad state:

# mdadm -A -s
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0
mdadm: /dev/md/0 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.

I ended up forcing the assembly:

# mdadm -A -s -f
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0
mdadm: forcing event count in /dev/sde(1) from 177 upto 181
mdadm: clearing FAULTY flag for device 1 in /dev/md/0 for /dev/sde
mdadm: /dev/md/0 has been started with 3 drives (out of 4).

Looking at the detailed output the missing disk (/dev/sdc) is "removed":


# mdadm --detail /dev/md0

I can examine the disk but I'm unable to add it (I don't recall if it
needs to be removed first or not):

# mdadm --examine /dev/sdc

# mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdc
mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc: Device or resource busy

So a couple questions.

1. Any thoughts on what would cause this?  I seem to have bad luck
with my raid arrays whenever I reboot.
2. How do I fix?  Everything *seems* to be as it should be . . .

Here is the mdadm.conf:

# cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf  | grep -v ^#

DEVICE partitions
CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes
HOMEHOST <system>
MAILADDR root
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4
UUID=11c1cdd8:60ec9a90:2e29483d:f114274d

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Matt
