I have removed the drives from my machine, the problem Im having is that I dont
know the order (ports) they go back into the machine. Does anyone know how to
determine the order, or how to fix the drive array if the order is not correct?
Just giving you more options.
Dan.

To run it manually;
echo check /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
than you can check the status with;
cat /proc/mdstat
Or to continually watch it, if you want (kind of boring though :) )
watch cat /proc/mdstat

And if I were a betting man, I would guess you will need to add a physical
drive to execute a RAID5 to RAID6 conversation for adding additional parity
even if your current RAID5 is not full of data.
So if your case only

`check' isn't a program. The line suggested has a typo: it should

The only program that line needs is `echo' and I'm sure

Where did you find reasonably priced cases to hold so many drives? Each of my

Not that I want to, but where did you find a SATA PCI card that fit 15 drives?
Areca have a few - a range of PCI-X cards that do up to 24 SATA drives
(ARC-1170) and PCI-e up to 24 drives (ARC-1280).
