Hello, OK, OK, I know.. it is all pre-beta software but I need help with it now. We lost some 16Gb now due to some stupid drives and drivers..... We have two md-raid 5 arrays running on an 'older' version of the md-tools. -- /usr/src/linux/include/linux/md.h says 0.36.5 raidadd v0.3d compiled for md raidtools-0.50 Linux deepthought 2.0.35 #5 Fri Jul 24 17:05:34 CEST 1998 i686 unknown What happened is there was a dead drive in the array, then the scsi-bus got reset (stupid aha152x somehow reset the WHOLE scsi sub-system including the 2 ncr810a boards for the raid arrays! AAARRRGGG!!!!) Anyway, the strange part SEEMS to be that the MD tried to rebuild, and for some unknown reason, a second drive on the failed array also failed temporarily. MD couldn't 'update' the timestamp on the md-header and the whole thing just crapped out but not before writting the update to the other 2 drives in the array. Now, I'm 97.07734% sure the temporary faild disk has good data on it as the whole array just stopped at that point. Its just missing the timestamp. HOW can I create a timestamp on the 'not so failed' disk so I can get the (some?) data off? (My DLT backup is 2 months old and we need the data!) I promise to upgrade the machine's raid system after I get this data! Thanks for the help and advice! Bob. */ ---------------------------------------------- WHO : Robert O'Kane WHERE : Künstlergruppe OTHERSPACE WHAT : Founding Member and Linker WHY : http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/~okane HOW : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------
