[linux-lvm] After replacing sata card can't read

No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I tried again with what I thought was the right order but to no affect, so I ran it again without the assume-clean and it rebuilt one of the drives. I assumed that meant mdadm was now okay with the ordering?

Would it make sense to try and resolve this by constructing a bash script to try all the permitations of drive order until pvdisplay returns something?

Thanks for your help and I apologize for essentially asking mdadm questions on the lvm mailling list.
