MDADM rebuild crashing

[jscheponik]

After a recent power outage, my mdadm raid5 array will now lock up my machine when i try to rebuild it. I use this command:

 

Code:

/sbin/mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdd

 

When i do an mdadm --examine i get this:

 

Code:

[root@localhost realms]# /sbin/mdadm --examine /dev/sda

In my /etc/mdadm.conf i have this:

 

Code:

DEVICE /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 devices=3 UUID=0b5156a9:a5f3a4ef:3262aff4:7e565f58

 

When i type /sbin/mdadm --assemble --scan -v i get this

 

Code:

[root@localhost realms]# /sbin/mdadm --assemble --scan -v
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0
mdadm: /dev/sda is not one of 3
mdadm: /dev/sdc is not one of 3
mdadm: /dev/sdd is not one of 3
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0

 

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there is any other info you need, please let me know. I have some very important data i need to get off these drives. I have recently purchased an Adaptec RAID controller to put in but haven't had a chance to do it yet. Thanks in advance for your help.
