Я использовал технологию Intel Rapid Storage (поддельный RAID) с 8 дисками (6 дисков для RAID 5 и 2 горячих резерва).

Операционная система - Debian 7 и mdadm v3.2.5.

Выключение сервера без явных причин и диски стали запасными, кроме первого.

Все остальные диски имеют следующее состояние:

Что я пробовал:

:~# mdadm --assemble --verbose --metadata=imsm /dev/md/imsm0
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md/imsm0
mdadm: /dev/sda is identified as a member of /dev/md/imsm0, slot -1.
mdadm: added /dev/sda to /dev/md/imsm0 as -1
mdadm: Container /dev/md/imsm0 has been assembled with 1 drive
:~# mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0 --verbose
mdadm: not enough devices to start the container

или пересобрать требуемые диски (в vol0, но я вполне уверен, что это было [af] в моей первоначальной команде для создания контейнера raid):

:~# mdadm --assemble /dev/md/imsm0 --metadata=imsm /dev/sd[adefgh]
mdadm: Container /dev/md/imsm0 has been assembled with 6 drives
:~# mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0 --verbose
mdadm: not enough devices to start the container
:~# mdadm --detail --scan /dev/md/imsm0
/dev/md/imsm0:
        Version : imsm
     Raid Level : container
  Total Devices : 6

Working Devices : 6
