Hi Michael, I do have that machine available, and in it's semi broken state. Here are the results, in the order that you asked me to run the commands.
#mdadm --assemble --scan mdadm: /dev/md1 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md5 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md6 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md7 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md9 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md10 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md11 is already in use. # mdadm --stop -scan mdadm: stopped /dev/md11 mdadm: stopped /dev/md10 mdadm: stopped /dev/md9 mdadm: stopped /dev/md8 mdadm: stopped /dev/md7 mdadm: stopped /dev/md6 mdadm: stopped /dev/md5 mdadm: stopped /dev/md1 # mdadm --assemble --scan mdadm: /dev/md1 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md5 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md6 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md7 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md8 has been started with 2 drives. mdadm: /dev/md9 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md10 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). mdadm: /dev/md11 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). # mdadm --assemble --scan mdadm: /dev/md1 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md5 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md6 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md7 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md9 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md10 is already in use. mdadm: /dev/md11 is already in use.
