Blast. I found this patch to add a revert-reshape option from archives of this list - http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg30961.html - but it's not included in mdadm 3.1.4 and I'm running from a rescue CD so I can't rebuild mdadm with it. I think I might just have to wait a while. Perhaps I can stop the reshape and restart it with the backup file elsewhere. Hmm, I've an SSD I haven't installed yet... Maybe time to give it a wee workout :-) Cheers, John.
