This is what I did (from memory): -Replaced the failed harddrive -Used FC5 disc 1 to start in rescue mode -Used fdisk to partition the new hard drive -# mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdg1 -# mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/hde1 -# mdadm -S /dev/md0 -# mdadm -A --force /dev/md0 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1 I did some tests with 'mdadm -A --force /dev/md0 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1 --update=summaries/resync' as well but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. Anyway, I'm up and running. -- Johnny Ljunggren, Navtek AS Tlf: 918 50 411, 33 07 10 77
