I recently set up a new server. The OS has 2 drives on RIAD 1 and the data has 3 disks on RAID 5. I got this message from the system. Not sure what it means. It is the only one a got and it has been several days, so maybe I can ignore it.

Your /dev/md0 array is degraded - /dev/sda1 is missing. Try to re-add it as follows: Code: mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sda1 mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sda1 mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1 mdadm -a /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 (see http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-se...ystem-incl-grub-configuration-debian-lenny-p4 ).
Weird ...

It turned out to be loose cables. I was able to rebuild all the arrays! Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md1 : active raid5 sdc1[0] sde1[3] sdd1[1] 1953518592 blocks super 1.1 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] bitmap: 0/8 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md0 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb1[1] 312363900 blocks super 1.1 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/3 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk I found this to be helpful: http://www.zachburlingame.com/2011/05/howto-rebuild-a-software-raid-5-array-after-replacing-a-disk/ I really like the last line that refreshes the progress! Cheers!
