Re: assemble didn't quite

Hi again, all --

% 
%   diskfarm:~ # for A in 51 52 53 54 55 56 ; do mdadm --assemble /dev/md$A /dev/sd[dcblfk]$A ; done
%   mdadm: /dev/md51 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array.
...
%   diskfarm:~ # grep md51 /proc/mdstat
%   md51 : inactive sdk51[6](S) sdl51[4](S) sdf51[5](S) sdc51[1](S) sdd51[3](S) sdb51[0](S)
% 
% Still all spares.  And here I was hoping this would be easy ...

In the end, after a few more tries, 

  --stop /dev/mdNN
  --assemble --force /dev/mdNN /dev/sd{d,c,b,l,f,k}NN

worked, at which point md50 the linear array happily lit itself up.  So
far, all seems good.  Yay!

Now about the size ...


Thanks again & HAND
