My raid 5 array is down and I'm trying to figure out why. Here's what
I see:
# mdadm -S /dev/md0
# mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/hdm4 /dev/hdg2 /dev/hdf2 /dev/hdh2 /dev/hdo2 /dev/hde2 /dev/hdp2
mdadm: /dev/dm0 has been started with 6 drives (out of 7) and 1 spare
#
What does "6 drives (out of 7) and 1 spare" mean? Is that what I
should expect from a healthy array? The reiserfs superblock is gone,
so I suspect that this message from mdadm should be telling me
something, but I can't figure out what.
Can I go ahead and tell fsck.reiserfs to re-create a superblock in
this state? Or should I do something else to my array to get it
running healthy?
Thanks,
Dave
