How do I replace a disk marked as removed from a linux md raid-5 array

If drives are "hot swap", don't need to power off server/pc...

First identify removed drive:

lsblk

Find serial number, if necessary:

smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep Serial

If drive is just remved:

mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdXn
mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdXn

If replacing damaged drive, then only:

mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdXn

Check every drive manually

mdadm --examine /dev/sdX

“not enough to start the array” – error while staring mdadm RAID array

Stop failed array:

mdadm -S /dev/md0

Assemble the pre-existing array:

mdadm -A -f /dev/md0

Test Email Settings

mdadm --monitor --scan --test

If got error: “mdadm: Only one autorebuild process allowed in scan mode, aborting”

mdadm --monitor /dev/md0 --test
