Hi,
On a RAID 5 array which is composed by 5 hdd, I did mdadm
--zero-superblocks on each hdd because I thought it was required to
use the array on a new system....
But now, I cannot mdadm --assemble the array. It says :
mdadm: no RAID superblock on /dev/sda
mdadm: /dev/sda has no superblock - assembly aborted
Is it possible to assemble this array because I don't want to lose my
data... Someone told me that I can do a :
mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -l5 -n5 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/hdc
But if do that, all the data on the raid will be lost or not ?
Is there an other way to get back these data ?
Thank you very much for your help.
I would try to recreate the raid5 array with *1 missing disk,* then
try to mount the array (read only) and verify the data.
For example,
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -c 32 -p ls -n 5 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
/dev/sdd missing
Notes:
If you used /etc/mdadm.conf, specify the disk order on the ARRAY line
with 1 missing disk to be safe.
I specified the mdadm default chunk size (32K) and default parity
algorithm (left-symmetric). You may have to use other values.
You should change the order of the disks if your data is invalid.
