Ok, after  that I solved  the SCSI problems, put  back the failed  disks and
hoped to be  able to do a mkraid  with one failed disk, but  I just couldn't
get this to work

moremagic:~# mkraid --version
mkraid version 0.90.0

I edited /etc/raidtab to say:
raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level              5
        nr-raid-disks           5
        chunk-size              32
        persistent-superblock   1
        device                  /dev/sdb1
        raid-disk               0
        device                  /dev/sdc1
        raid-disk               1
        device                  /dev/sdd1
        failed-disk             2
        device                  /dev/sde1
        raid-disk               3
        device                  /dev/sdf1
        raid-disk               4

Well, mkraid would keep saying that "failed-disk" was an invalid keyword, so
I ended  up replacing failded-disk  with raid-disk  and got the  array back,
minus (as expected) the data I copied there between the first and the second
disk failures (don't worry, the data was a duplicate, so nothing was lost)

I just  want to  know why  mkraid kept  telling me  that failed-disk  was an
incorrect keyword...
moremagic:~# mkraid --really-force /dev/md0
unrecognized option failed-disk
detected error on line 11:
                failed-disk             2
mkraid: aborted

Thanks,
Marc
