Hi,

My server used to run on woody before upgrading it to sarge a few months ago. Since then I had no problems with my raid array but after a reboot some of the volumes fell of the array and now I can't get them back. When this happend while running woody I would just do a raidhotremove and then a raidhotadd and the volume would resync itself into the array. I can't do that now because for some reason the raidutils2 package doesn't come with raidhotadd. I tried resyncing it with mdadm: mdadm -assemble and mdadm --assemble -f but it says the following:

mdadm: device /dev/md6 already active - cannot assemble it

Here is the output of /proc/mdstat:

Personalities : [raid1]

unused devices: <none>

Two of the volumes are working as 2/1 and I can't push them back. Help.
