Hi,
I have a RAID 5 composed by 4x 500Go hdd but for some days, it's 'inactive'.
I'm not raid expert and I prefer asking before doing an unrecoverable mistake...
Is it possible to fix this raid (md126)?
Is it possible to recover data on it?
Do I have a disk to change or it's "just" a desynchronization between disks?
Thanks for your help
