Hi there:
 
I installed red-hat6.2 and raidtools are within it.
I made a raid5:
 
my /etc/raidtab
raiddev                 /dev/md0
raid-level              5
nr-raid-disks           3
nr-spare-disks          0
persistent-superblock   1
chunk-size              4
 
parity-algorithm        left-symmetric
device                  /dev/sda7
raid-disk               0

device                  /dev/sdb1
raid-disk               1
device                  /dev/sdc1
raid-disk              
2
 
it works fine.
 
Then, I wanna try the reconstruction of raid5. So I fdisk /dev/sdc, and kill the partition sdc1. Reboot and see what will happen.
But I got the /proc/mdstat
 
Personalities : [raid5]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid5 sdb1[1] sda7[0] 1720064 blocks level 5, 4k chunk, algorithm 2
 [3/2] [UU_]
unused devices: <none>
 
I think that means the sdc1 is not in raid array now. So I try to fdisk /dev/sdc and make a partition sdc1 as the same size it was. And
I set it to fd type. But after I reboot, the /proc/mdstat was the same as above.
 
So cound you teach me what's the exact way to recontruct the raid5 if one disk failed.
 
Thank you!
