md: kicking non-fresh hde2 from array!
 

Hello there,

I've set up a software RAID5 on my new Core 2 installation. Working allright (at least it does now..) Can anybody tell me what this means while booting (actually do I need to worry I mean):
raid5: measuring checksumming speed
8regs : 1168.000 MB/sec
8regs_prefetch: 1156.000 MB/sec
32regs : 696.000 MB/sec
32regs_prefetch: 692.000 MB/sec
pIII_sse : 2180.000 MB/sec
pII_mmx : 2028.000 MB/sec
p5_mmx : 1964.000 MB/sec
raid5: using function: pIII_sse (2180.000 MB/sec)

I've been googling like mad but no where I could find what md: kicking non-fresh hde2 from array! meant.

Please help, you will make me happy!!

trouble. (maybe not:-) can you tell more 'bout your hardware?

iirc this can happen if your powersupply has not enough power or if there's no mem available.

have a closer look into your logs for broken things (harddisk) before this:
mdadm --force --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdd1 /dev/hde2
maybe will fix that. read the manpage! you'll have to do a fsck afterwards and maybe will find something in your lost&found.
