Does this message mean: - this blocks are not used any more; while mirorring the lost data is restored on ad6 on some other part - you've lost the data and there's no way you ever gonna find out what it was What I'm also wondering about is if any dumps made now will be accurate. Here's some recent atacontrol-output: root (pippi) /var/cron/tabs>atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: no device present Slave: acd0 ATA/ATAPI rev 5 ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 2: Master: ad4 ATA/ATAPI rev 6 Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 ATA/ATAPI rev 6 Slave: no device present root (pippi) /var/cron/tabs>atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: READY Any answers and help on how to proceed from here much appreciated!
