A detailed how-to for getting the drive properly replaced and then the new drive added is located here: http://consultancy.edvoncken.net/ind...oftware_RAID-5
However, if you are getting errors like
'no superblock on /dev/sdb1' when trying to add the new drive to the array, you can try running the following:
Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sd[d-h]1
This will recreate the array, called /dev/md0, raid5 with 5 devices, using disks sdd through sdh, and you can then rebuild it, later accessing the files after having it mounted.
You then need to be sure to update your fstab correctly and your mdamd.conf file.

There are some several very useful suggestions on how to re-add a new drive to the array.
Simply the best. have been using them from last 2 years. Remember Dedicated servers are hardware so few times problem do arrive. but always fixed in time. Really really Positive attitude from President.
I have been using AYK for about 2 years now and they are always on top of any issues I have. They have gone over and beyond helping me with any problems that come up with the server and they have never said "no" to any of my requests. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable server company.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
