Recreating an array which cannot be imported through Scan Devices or Scan Foreign configuration:
If the foreign configuration will not import, you can safely recreate the array if the drives are still in order, you know the RAID mode and the stripe block size.
If there is foreign configuration data on the drives, the foreign configuration must be cleared first.
first, I have saved configuration file, but I create two additional arrays after this last save and not want have troubles to restore these new arrays.
second, I not remember stripe block size for needed array
how in saved configuration file find and determine stripe block size for array?
array RAID1 name PhotoBackUp (configuration file attached)
How to find in saved MSM 17.05.06.00 configuration file array parameters (stripe size)
