May 15, 201412 yr Author May sound like a dumb question, but will running with the rebuild option again, after copying what it has found, out potentially find more data?
May 15, 201412 yr Author The clarify the array is currently in maintenance mode. Okay finished. It says I should stop and start the array now. Do I do this and mount the disks (leave 5 unassigned the whole time) Files found: 7248 Directories found: 351 Files with fixed size: 1 Pass 3a (looking for lost dir/files): ####### Pass 3a (lost+found pass) ######### Looking for lost directories: Looking for lost files:7 /sec vpf-10680: The file [28836 30317] has the wrong block count in the StatData ( - corrected to (0) Flushing..finished Objects without names 18 Files linked to /lost+found 18 Pass 4 - finisheddone 481151, 187 /sec Deleted unreachable items 291 Flushing..finished Syncing..finished ########### reiserfsck finished at Fri May 16 06:31:08 2014 ########### root@Silo:~# After I have grabbed the files I want back (if possible) I want to remove disk 5 completely from the system and add 4 1tb drives.

May 16, 201412 yr I am confused what you did. Did you run reiserfsck with the rebuild option? Afterwards were you able to find all/most/some of you data on the recovered disk? Please report this. Assuming you did the recovery against the /dev/md? device, the array is still parity protected. To add a new disk you would just preclear it and add it in the normal way.
May 16, 201412 yr Author I am confused what you did. Did you run reiserfsck with the rebuild option? Afterwards were you able to find all/most/some of you data on the recovered disk? Please report this. Yes and Yes Assuming you did the recovery against the /dev/md? device, the array is still parity protected. To add a new disk you would just preclear it and add it in the normal way. I want it to forget about disk5 though. I didnt not rebuild disk 5 onto a new 2TB disk. I ran the recovery against the simulated disk. Now I want to add 3 new disks that are samller than the old disk5.
May 16, 201412 yr Did you get everything back that you had on that disk? Can I hear a sign of relief? Or a shout of joy? Or a high five? Have you copied all of your desired data off the simulated disk? If so, you'd need to do a new config and assign the disks you want in the array, when you start the array paritywill build for the disks you have assigned.
May 17, 201412 yr Author High-frick'n-fives all-round Dumped off to a 3tb usb disk. Cabling up the new config now. Thanks for all your advice bjp999. Believe it or not, I actually work in IT and some times you just spend all day on technical issues, that when you get home the last thing you want to do it look at a computer. Hence my skimming some of the posts A bit like how the builders house is never built/in a constant state of dis-repair. heh Did you get everything back that you had on that disk?
