Ok so i've gotten my snap4400 to boot properly and allow me into the web page administration as well as putty to it, however it still thinks my raid5 is failed. Is there a command or two i can throw at it to have it force a rebuild in an attempt to save anything? I know in hardware raid setups you used to be able to recreate a stripe ontop of what had failed and that would sometimes let you recover your data, but this being software and raid5 as opposed to raid1 and linux based on top of that, thought i'd ask here and google while waiting
sorry lenn, i had hoped to ship this thing out to you on monday but i've got to try what i can before i do, in the interest of saving me multiple drive swaps and time with the 4400 i still have. i'll keep ya updated though
*edit*: I've found a few tools in the /install_tools directory, along the lines of mdctl and mkraid, so i'll keep looking around and update unless anyone here has experience with those tools and a suggested recovery method for muh raid5
