software raid5 "unknown-block (8,113)"
Hi,
I think Ive gone and let my raid die on me, but I thought I'd ask around before I start crying.
I have 8 drives running software raid 5 under fedora 8. This is a purely for storage so no system partitions lives on it.
What has happened now is that 1 drive died a couple of days ago, and before I've had time/money to replace it, a second problem has showed up causing the raid not to become active.
I'm not sure what the nature of this new error is, if it's another dead drive or some benign error I can fix.

And mdadm -E for the sde1 partition:

Anyone know what I might try before killing it and starting over? |
