If a drive/partition is marked as "failed", you need to remove it from the RAID first with: mdadm --manage --remove /dev/mdx /dev/sdxx Then you can add it again with: mdadm --manage --add /dev/mdx /dev/sdxx Hope it helps. > > tnx jk > -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ Veni, vidi, Linux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
