I have an HTPC that was giving me insane amount of problems after 3 months of good use.
1x 250gig Samsung Drive (OS Drive)
3x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green (Raid-5)
In 9.10, the raid was working fine. I decided to fresh install Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't seem to start the raid array. In Disk Utility, the array shows up but when I try to start it I get the error "Not enough components to start the array"
I've tried to assemble the array using mdadm and the following
mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1
This returns the following error mdadm: failed to create /dev/md0
I have no idea what to do now, and unfortunately I don't have any backups :(
Any help is appreciated.
