Re: Problem with RAID-5 not adding disks

mdadm --stop /dev/mdXX stop mdadm --assemble --force /dev/mdXX <list all devices good or bad that were previously in the array> The assemble with force should make it turn it on with enough disks. Then re-add the remaining. I have had to do this a number of times when a subset of my sata ports acted up. On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 5:11 PM, Theophanis Kontogiannis [off-list ref] wrote:
Dear List.
Hello.
I have the following problem with my CEntOS 6.5 RAID-5
Array of five disks.
At some point in time I added the fifth disk, however I do not remember
if I added it as a spare or to go up to RAID-6.
The power and faulty UPS caught me so my RAID-5 has failed (alongside
with the on board controller :) )
After replacing the MB, I am in the following situation:

Every effort to add at least one more disk ends up in error:
[root ~]# mdadm /dev/md0 --re-add /dev/sdd
mdadm: --re-add for /dev/sdd to /dev/md0 is not possible
I also made sure that the devices are in the correct physical order.

Any chance to revive this array?
