SubjectSV: PROBLEM: raid5 just dies
Date
From
>Exactly how are aes-loop and raid5 connected together?

We use 5x300gb drives in a raid5 array, which is then used as a physical
disk in an lvm volume, with one logical volume. This logical volume is
then encrypted with "losetup -e aes /dev/loop1 /dev/vg0/lv0", and then
formatted with ReiserFS.

>Is the loop above the raid5 or below?

It's below the raid5, since the raid5 is created straight onto the
drives.

>A precise description of how things are arranged would help.

Does the above look good enough?

>A copy of /proc/mdstat would be good to.

Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md1 : active raid1 hdn1[1] hdf1[0]
195358336 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md0 : active raid5 hdd1[1] hdc1[0] hdh1[4] hdg1[3] hde1[2]
1250274304 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/5] [UUUUU]
