Hello,
it's recovery time again. Problem at hand: raid5 consisting of four
partitions, each on a drive. Two disks have failed. Assembly fails
because the slot numbers of the array components seem to be corrupt.
/dev/md0 consisting of /dev/sd[abcd]1, of which b,c failed and of
which c seems really bad in SMART, b looks reasonably OK judging from
SMART.
Checksum of the failed component superblocks was bad.
Using mdadm.conf we have already tried updating the superblocks. This
partly succeeded in the sense that checksums came up ok, the slot
numbers did not.
mdadm refuses to assemble, even with --force.
Could you guys peek over the array configuration (mdadm --examine) and
see if there is a non-destructive way to try and mount the array. If
not, what is the least intrusive way to do a non-syncing (re)create?
Data recovery is our prime concern here.
Below the uname -a, --examine output of all four drives, mdadm.conf of
what we think the array should look like and finally, the mdadm
--assemble command and output.
Note the slot numbers on /dev/sd[bc].
Thanks for any help,
with kind regards,
Leon Woestenberg
