Thanks to Jakob I have my data back. <phew>.
Just for the record I made a raidtab with the following:-
raiddev /dev/md5
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 3
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdc2
raid-disk 2
and ran "raidstart /dev/md5". Looking in the syslog
showed that the raiddev was wrong - needed to be /dev/md2.
So I corrected that and ran "mkraid --really-force /dev/md2"
The array now corrected I was able to mount the root filesystem
and copy the original raidtab to my repair disk and run mkraid
on the other partitions. I now have my data.
Finally, what could have caused this? I'm pretty confident about the
hardware (I've not replaced anything yet) - could a power outage have
broken my arrays?
many thanks
nick.
