Ok, this is the case: I've got two raid-5 arrays with software raid, both with three disks. Setup: md0 has hdb2, hdd1 and sda1 md1 has hdb5, hdd3 and sda3

Thank you for the URL, but I have already seen the howto. Running mdadm --assemble --force only provides the message that there is only one disk available. So what I'm looking for is a way to tell mdadm exactly what devices to use for the array.
Silly question, but can the system see sda, hdb & hdd?
can you see anything from "fdisk -l /dev/sda" - the same for hdb and hdd?
