Hi,

I have a raid 6 consisting of 10 drives, 2x5 sata disks. Each set of 5
behind a port multiplier. The port multipliers/disk/drivers are a bit
flaky sometimes and I need to pull the cable between the controller and
port multiplier to get the disks recognized sometimes.

Now after rebooting I can't assemble the array.
mdadm -A /dev/md12, reports that 5 disks are too few to assemble array.

One set of (5) disks says that everything is ok when checked with mdadm
-E, but the other set says that 5 disks are failed.

The first set of 5 disks report this:

Should I try mdadm -A -f /dev/md12 or do I need to run a create command
to get the array up and running?

I'm in the process of copying the drives so I have a backup in case
something goes wrong with the assembling...
