  • RAID 5 impossible to recreate

    Hi, I have a RAID 5 with 4 disks that has run smoothly for 5 years. A few days ago one of the disks failed. I removed the damaged disk and put a new one started to recreate the RAID (mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdb) but it failed at about 20%.


    Now I get the following message:


    mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdb
    mdadm: Cannot get array info for /dev/md127


    I've tried to recreate the RAID:


    mdadm --assemble --run --force /dev/md127 /dev/sd[bcde]
    mdadm: Cannot assemble mbr metadata on /dev/sdb


    I tried many things, like deleting the mdadm configuration file, but without success.


    I have formatted the new disc but not assigned a file format.


    gdisk /dev/sdb


    I expose the necessary data to receive help:


    1. cat /proc/mdstat

    3. fdisk -l | grep "Disk "

    4. cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf


    # mdadm.conf


    DEVICE partitions

    CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes


    # automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system
    HOMEHOST <system>


    # definitions of existing MD arrays

    MAILADDR xxxxx@gmail.com
    MAILFROM rootroot@NAS:~#


    5. mdadm --detail --scan --verbose


    INACTIVE-ARRAY /dev/md127 num-devices=3 metadata=1.2 name=NAS:NAS UUID=04366c8b:6451f12b:e9e06d4d:88ab6493
    devices=/dev/sdc,/dev/sdd,/dev/sde


    6. There are 4 WD NAS Red 3TB disks


    7. The RAID stopped working when bad sectors were detected on one of the disks.



    Thank you in advance for your help.
