Subject: RAID array is gone, please help
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:49:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cd51a878-3424-27a5-7b0b-439a67137a7d@mueller.org> (raw)

I am hoping someone here will help me. Was reading this site...

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Linux_Raid

and it said to email this list if you've tried everything other than 
mdadm --create.


I am running Ubuntu 16.04. Machine name is fred. I used webmin to create 
a 4 disk RAID10 array yesterday. I moved all my data onto the array.

Today, I had to reboot my PC. The resync was still not done, but I read 
online that it's OK to boot during resync. After boot, my array was 
gone. I checked syslog, and it just has this line:

DeviceDisappeared event detected on md device /dev/md0

I did not partition my disks before building the array. So I believe the 
array consisted of /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sde, and /dev/sdf.

Here's some info...

Thank you for any help you can provide.
