How to fix mistake on raid: mdadm create instead of assemble?
Hi guys,
I'm new to RAID although I've had a server running raid5 for a while. It was delivered preinstalled like this and I never really wondered how to monitor and maintain it. This quick introduction just to let you understand why I'm such an idiot asking such a silly question.
Now what happened?
I have a server with 4 disks and raid5 configured. /dev/md10 is made of sda10, sdb10, sdc10 and sdd10.
Unfortunately, /dev/sdd died, the server crashed, etc. After restart, md10 did not rebuilt. I understood sdd was dead and did not try to force rebuild or even touch the existing system.
First thing I did is ddrescue the remaining partitions sd[abc]10. ddrescue did not stumble into any read error so I assume all remaining partitions are perfectly safe.
Then I examined the partitions with : There comes my mistake: I ran the --create command instead of --assemble:
After that, mounting failed:
Here's more info about the new raid to be compared with the initial one: With the help of the initial mdadm --examine, is it possible to recreate my raid in a way that I can read data out of it?
