hardware RAID 5 solution..
I believe what is required is to use ckraid /etc/raid5.conf --fix. If
you know what disk is the "good" disk, you can force it to use that drive to
sync the rest by using ckraid /etc/raid5.conf --fix --force-source /dev/hdb1
(If hdb1 is one of the good copies).
If you simply run ckraid /etc/raid5.conf, it won;t fix anything, but
tell you what needs to be fixed.
Refer to Software-RAID HOWTO under section 4) Error recovery for more
information..
