So the array is in the middle of a "reshape".

It should automatically complete...  Presumably it isn't doing that?

What does
   cat /proc/mdstat
say?

Where kernel log messages do you get when you assemble the array?


The spare device will not be added to the array until the reshape has
finished.

Hopefully you aren't using a 2.6.23 kernel?
That kernel had a bug which corrupted data when reshaping a degraded
raid5 array.

into /var/log/messages (os is DEBIAN)
last messages after -A was :

==> /var/log/messages <==
Feb  4 02:39:53 raid01 kernel: RAID5 conf printout:

Feb  4 02:39:53 raid01 kernel: ...ok start reshape thread

The spare device will not be added to the array until the reshape has
finished.
ok. I think what such must was to be (excuse me for my bad english)
But when i did not see nothing about reshape (reshaping) in mdadm -D /dev/md1
this was confuse to me .
Hopefully you aren't using a 2.6.23 kernel?
yep, i remember you alert to me about 2.6.23 kernel
raid01:/etc# uname -a
Linux raid01 2.6.22.16-6 #7 SMP Thu Jan 24 21:58:32 MSK 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
raid01:/etc#

That kernel had a bug which corrupte ata when reshaping a degraded
raid5 array.

AND :
i use now version mdadm :
raid01:/etc# mdadm -V
mdadm - v2.6.4 - 19th October 2007

and in previous version DURING reshaping such information apper in mdadm -D command
Why not appear now ?
May be you return it back ?
And indicating about % of process reshaping ?

What you think about this ?
