Re: How to auto rebuild array?

[Rui Santos <rsantos@ruisantos.com>]

Hi Bart,

   Is that a RAID1 ou RAID5?

   Can you give the output of these commands?

   mdadm --misc -D /dev/md3
   mdadm --misc -E /dev/hd{a,b,e,f}4

   One other thing. Are you sure that all you raid partitions are marked 
0xfd ?

   Also attach you mdadm.conf/raidconf file, if you have any...

Regards,
Rui Santos
