Re-adding the drives to the arrays


The /dev/sdb disk seems to be functional and, outside the event count difference, we cannot see any reason the RAID would reject the devices. Our next step will be an attempt to re-add the removed devices to their RAID arrays.

The first RAID we will attempt this with is /dev/md127:

[nfs]# mdadm --detail /dev/md127
/dev/md127:

  Used Dev Size : 511936 (500.02 MiB 524.22 MB)
   Raid Devices : 2
