I might add

~/tmp # mdadm --stop /dev/md127
mdadm: stopped /dev/md127
~/tmp # mdadm --assemble --scan
mdadm: Failed to restore critical section for reshape, sorry.
       Possibly you needed to specify the --backup-file

Thanks for helping me out of this...

Hello,

I believe I need some help from an mdadm expert.

I tried to add a disk to an existing RAID5-array (/dev/md127) that
consisted of 5 disks: /dev/sd[bcdef]1
The system is a 4.5.2-2-kernel, x86_64-architecture, mdadm 3.3.1.
I attempted to add partition /dev/sdg1 to that array, in an attempt to
create a 6-disk-RAID5-array.
To achieve that goal, I typed "mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdg1".
As I found that working, I attempted to grow the array by typing
"mdadm --grow /dev/md127 --raid-devices=6".

I left my machine, and when I returned, I found it had been switched
off by my... ahem, anyway, it had been switched off.

I powered it on again, "cat /proc/mdstat" returned

Now, before I do anything extreme like unplugging that disk again or
forcing a recreate, could an expert suggest the next logical step I
should do. I know this sounds pretty defensive, but rather than
playing "Raid-hero with an erased set of disks" I'd go along with
"Raid-idiot that needed experts' advice which is why he still's got
all his data".

Thanks for your advice!
