Upon a graphics card crash, the system halted and had to be physically rebooted. After the reboot, the webGui is showing "Array Stopped - stale configuration" and the array devices are all unassigned with the cache drive the only populated device in the Main page. It seems that this is a bug, considering other people have faced it, although not sure how to reproduce without risking the data. Speaking of which, what is the recommended way of reassigning all devices and starting the array in this situation? Contents of disk.cfg here.
Update: The super.dat file is NOT zero bytes, there's also a super.dat.CA_BACKUP. A filename called DISK_ASSIGNMENTS.txt contains the device order in details. One of the previously unassigned drives is missing from the system.
Update2: Missing drive became available on next power cycle. Checking "parity is valid" and re-assigning disks according to old records seems to have brought the array online without losing data.
