Date: Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:28:24 +0000 Message-ID: <4C55BCC8.1060604@gmail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids well, ext4 fails with IO-errors, so I checked the disks of the raid and found, that's something wrong with the cables... after an exchange of cables I tried a "mdadm --assemble --force", but result was that the missing devices are only added as spare-drives, not as active ones. well maybe, there are errors in filesystem, but the raid should be ok, so how can I change the disk from spare to active? maybe setting the right info directly in superblock of the disk? any help would be appreciated wiebittewas
