I had a problem a month or so ago where I had three mirrors, and one of them went AWOL after a system migration. Finally got as much as I could back, created a RAID-5 of four of the 1.5 TB disks, put everything on it, recovered more from backup, and was feeling pretty good. Then the power went out. Now, now RAID-5. Or, rather, mdadm sees that there are RAID partitions, and starts; fdisk shows me an unpartitioned disk. Which is, essentially, the exact same thing I had happen last time. (Except that, this time, I *know* my mdadm.conf is correct, because it hasn't changed -- but, for the hell of it, I did a "mdadm --detail --scan", and it matches.) WTF? Am I too stupid for software RAID? Is there something really obvious I'm missing? Any help at all would be most graciously accepted.
