mdadm 2.6, linux 2.6.17, failed grow/reshape

["Thomas Langås" <thomas.langaas@gmail.com>]

I sent this message directly to Neil Brown first, but then I read
his homepage and found out I should have sent it here, so here goes.

I've got 5 250GB drives, 4 of which I used to create an
RAID5-md-device, after all that was done (striping and all that) I
added the last drive.  Problem is that about 30% into the process of
reshaping, my computer died, and when I've got things up on a new
system now, I can get it to start where it left off.

It says that the device (md0) is in delta 4->5, but I'm unable to get
it to restart reshaping.  Are all the data I had on the raid-device
lost?  Or is it possible to make it restart where it left off?  It
clearly knows how far it has come along, since I get some stats about
that.


In advance, thanks!
