After that the two disks reported as missing and spare so i have 4 on 4 in raid5. after that i tried to add and re-add but without no efforts. Then i do this: mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 --scan --force mdadm: failed to add /dev/sdd4 to /dev/md2: Device or resource busy mdadm: /dev/md2 assembled from 4 drives and 1 spare - not enough to start the array. and now i didnt know to go on. i have fear to setup the raid new. I hope you can help. Many thx.
