If the array consisted of 7 drives, two of them would be parity and I'd

For example
mdadm --raid-devices=7 --level=6 --foo /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc
Ok--I got moved in to my new place and am back and running on the 'net.
I sat down for a few hours and attempted to write a script to try all
possible combinations of drives...but I have to admit that I'm lost.
I have 8 drives in the array--and I can output every possible
combination of those. Bu
Ok--I'm a moron.
Long story short, I was messing around with my RAID6 array and I managed
to screw up two of the drives in my 7-drive 1-spare array.
I had problems in the middle of a kernel upgrade and I kept getting
