Help needed! Raid 5 failure on a Debian System
Hello!
I have a 4-disc Raid 5 server running Open Media Vault (Debian). The other day, it disappeared from OMV, which was reporting 3 drives failed. Panic Stations. However, using MDADM I can get info from 3 of the drives which suggests they are functioning ok (info below). The remaining 4th drive doesn't give anything back via mdadm --examine. Any ideas how I can rebuild the drive without destroying the data? According to what I have read, as the three apparently working drives all have the same events number (103), it is fairly likely the data is intact on them - but how to I rebuild?
Thanks my lovelies!
Jon
