Help: I got power fail on my server(I was stupid enough to unplug the wrong cable). After reboot, my SoftRAID 5, /dev/md4 device is no longer working. It got 6 device in total and two of them /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 is out of sync. The kernel message shows following: kernel: md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one Nov 28 18:33:59 kernel: md: freshest: hda7 The raidtab configure is following: riaddev /dev/md4 raid-level 5 nr-raid-disks 6 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 nr-spare-disks 0 /dev/hda7 /dev/hdc7 /dev/hde2 /dev/hdg2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 I read the Softraid howto, and it seems I can use "mkraid --force" to get my data back. Is this ok with my situation? I am using redhat 9.0 thanks
