What can I do? I don't believe this is working as intended.


I think the posts:

08.08.2005: How to recover a multiple raid5 disk failure with mdadm?
30.08.2005: 2 partition kicked from 6 raid5

describe the same problem. And it seems that no one was able to help. I 
hope you can rebuild your drive but I think you should use the backup if 
you need a quick solution. And indeed I think a howto resolve a multiple 
raid5 disk failure would be a good thing. Sometimes the problems are a 
faulty bus/cable and one knows that most (or even all) data is good.

 this is a feature patch that implements 'proactive raid5 disk

After my experience with a broken raid5 (read the list) I think the 
partially failed disks feature you describe is really useful. I agree 
with you that this kind of error is rather common.
