I'm at the point now where I'm just looking for triage advice so I can work on it tonight. Most of the contents were backed up offsite, but a little bit out of date.

Do I kill it and start over, or is there any hope of recovering from the reshape? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
