Hi, Can you explain what have you tried till now? All I can say "man mdamd" is sufficient.

These are a few of the commands I have ran so far...
cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid6] Md1 : active raid1 hdd1[2] hdc1[1] hda1[0] 104320 blocks [3/3] [UUU]
(Just so you know... That's missing the "needed" MD2)

raidstart /dev/md1 - No errors, just returns command prompt
raidstart /dev/md2 - No errors, just returns command prompt
Sooooooooo, Then I tried to start fixing things.....
mdadm --assemble -m 2 /dev/md2 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdd2
I get Mdadm: Bad super-minor number: /dev/md2
mdadm --assemble --run -m 2 /dev/md2 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdd2
Mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md2: Invalid argument
Then... Looking at
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [raid6] Md1 : active raid1 hdd1[2] hdc1[1] hda1[0] 104320 blocks [3/3] [UUU]
Md2 : inactive hdc2[1] hdd2[2] 312367616 Unused devices: <none>
Then... Trying to get a little more pushy...
mdadm --stop /dev/md2 mdadm --verbose --assemble --run -m 2 /dev/md2 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdd2
Mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md2 Mdadm: /dev/hda2 is identified as a member of /dev/md2, slot 0 Mdadm: /dev/hdc2 is identified as a member of /dev/md2, slot 1 Mdadm: /dev/hdd2 is identified as a member of /dev/md2, slot 2 Mdadm: added /dev/hda2 to /dev/md2 as 0 Mdadm: added /dev/hdd2 to /dev/md2 as 2 Mdadm: added /dev/hdc2 to /dev/md2 as 1 Mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md2: Invalid argument
Ok... So... That is where I quit... Any Idea what kind of hope I should be holding out for?
