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.
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.
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
I have never experienced a more professional and personal client-based service such as I am enjoying from AYKSolutions. This is no plotted statement either. I'm not a guru by no means, and they have been unbelievably superb in helping me promptly, professionally, courteously, and completely. Thank you Artyom & team.
