A couple of months ago my box at home died. I came back home for vacation two days ago and started to check why it doesn't start.. One of the disks had been marked as failed (or acctually two, but only one is dead), I was wondering of removing all the data by re-creating the array and scrapping ~3Tb data.. But when I woke up from a nap this evening I thought that maybe the -f flag works with mdadm as well:

# mdadm -A -f /dev/md0 /dev/sd[acdefgh]1

Did the trick, it resetted the failed status on sdh1

My server at home went down on Friday evening.. I guess it was the power supply or a power outage, probably the latter. However, it did not restart when the power went back on. I know I set the BIOS to start the computer when the power came back. But it did not.

So my very best friend went to my apartment and resetted the power, and it worked! Thank god! I would not managed without my server at home, neither would my colleagues..
