I have written some posts about this before... My 6 disk RAID 5 broke

I did a --create without any missing disk, which made it rebuild. I have
also lost all information about how the old RAID was set up..
I got a friend of mine to make a list of all the 6^6 combinations of dev
1 2 3 4 5 missing, and set it up this way :
"mdadm --create -n 6 -l 5 dev1 2 3 4 5 missing ; fdisk -l /dev/md0 ;
mdadm --stop /dev/md0" .
But a "cat logfile | grep Linux" of the output of this script tells me
that on no of these combination does it find a valid "type 83" partition.
shouldnt this work ???
No.
What are you expecting fdisk to tell you? fdisk lists partitions and
I suspect you didnt have any partitions on /dev/md0
More likely you want something like
fsck -n -f /dev/md0
and see which one produces the least noise.
