    Hi,

    I have a Sun E450 server with Solaris 8 originally set up by someone
    else with a metadisk for /export/home

    Contents of /etc/lvm/md.cf:

    # metadevice configuration file
    # do not hand edit
    d0 3 1 c0t1d0s5 \
             1 c0t2d0s5 \
             1 c0t3d0s5

    Now the c0t3d0 disk has failed, rendering the metadisk unusuable. But
    since it consists of 3 concatenated disks and the data stored on is less
    then a 3rd of the available space, I was wondering if it is possible to
    reconstruct the data from the two remaining disks?

    If not I will create a device consisting of the two remaining disks
    mirrored.

    Cheers
    Martin
