hm, ok...<br>
<br>
but below you don't expect each component drive to be a consistent xfs<br>
fs do you? It's not a mirror :)</blockquote><div><br><br>Actually, I did not expect each component drive to be a consistent xfs file system, I was just trying to gather as much information as possible. I'm glad I did because it was running "sudo dd if=/dev/sd* bs=512 count=128 iflag=direct | hexdump -C | grep XFSB" on all my drives that showed which drive had the xfs info on it and allowed you to suggest that I try creating the array with that drive first:<br>

Ok so above is the real problem.<br>

IOW the normal msdos 63 sectors.<br>

<br>
It seems like maybe it assembled out of order, as if sdc1 should be the<br>
first drive, since it has the magic at the right place.<br>
<br>
Dunno how much damage could have been done, or if you can just try to<br>
fix the assembly perhaps...?<br>
