The events counters are probably saying that: - sdd was removed from the array at 11958 (faulty!) - sdb was removed from the array at 13144 - we are now at 13146 I think you should try to assemble the array in degraded mode with only sdb and sde, which have almost the same age; sdd is probably stale and should be readded in a second moment (assuming the disk is really working). I'm not sure about what options are needed to assemble in a degraded mode by choosing only sdb and sde, so I will avoid giving you a bad advice which could destroy your data. :-) You may retry the rescue CD; is the array started in degraded mode? If so, you can try to readd the missing disk and let it sync. Maybe everything is clean on next boot. But be careful. As soon as an array is reassembled, run a read-only fsck to be sure you are reassembling something consistent (I personally would not trust any array involving sdd). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
