Luckely I wrote down the exact command I used to create the array so that part should be easy. > You should then be able to recreate the array with mdadm --create > --assume-clean, and get access to your filesystem and data. I didn't pay attention to that option before. But now I tried it. The data on that array is not that important, most have been backed up elsewhere. It seemed to work. After recreating the array I ran fsck. The filesystem is ext3. It recovered the journal and cleared 5 orphaned inode and the filesystem seemed fine. I could mount it and access the data. The array synchronized again. For safety though I might copy the data elsewhere and recreate the filesystem from scratch. -- Jesper 01:17:47 up 17:42, 18 users, load average: 0.14, 0.19, 0.25 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
