I run a 15 disk raid5 array. Unknowingly a contoller card failed which had 4 disks on it. And unfortunatly the Raid5 stayed online, doing its best.
Now after replacing the controller the raid can not be brought on line. I would rather have corruption of anything changed on the array in the last 2 days then loose 4 disks.

All the disks are online now, what do I need to do to rebuild the array?
And is there a way if more then 1 disks goes offline, for the whole array to be taken offline? My understanding of raid5 is loose 1+ disks and nothing on the raid would be readable. this is not the case here. |
