Please, please! I am dead in the water! To recap, I have a RAID6 array on a Fedora Core 5 system, using /dev/hd[acdeg] 2 and /dev/sd[ab]2. /dev/hdd went bad so I replaced the drive and tried to add it back to the array. Here is what happens:
#mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/hd[acdeg]2 /dev/sd[ab]2 mdadm: no RAID superblock on /dev/hdd2 mdadm: /dev/hdd2 has no superblock - assembly aborted I also tried assembling without the new drive: #mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/hd[aceg]2 /dev/sd[ab]2 mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md1: Input/output error Forgive me if the messages are not exactly correct, as I am booted into the FC rescue disk and I am transcribing what I see to another computer. How can I get mdadm to use the new drive? Am I completely fscked? Thanks in advance for any help!!!!
