Fwd: odd change in raid 5

I don't think this went through last time I tried sending it to the
group.  I didn't recieve a message saying it was bounced, but didn't
see it come through, either.

hmm..  my raid seems to have changed from
Personalities : [raid5]
md0 : active raid5 sdg[6] dm-4[5] dm-3[4] sdd[3] dm-2[2] dm-1[1] dm-0[0]
      1758264960 blocks level 5, 32k chunk, algorithm 0 [7/7] [UUUUUUU]

unused devices: <none>
to
Personalities : [raid5]
md0 : inactive sdg[6] dm-4[5] dm-3[4] sdd[3] dm-2[2] dm-0[0]
      1758291200 blocks
unused devices: <none>

when I open evmsn, it tells me that the raid is degraded, but
shouldn't I still see the raid device if it's degraded?
When I try mounting it I get "device /dev/evms/raidmaid does not exist"

I find it interesting that the number of blocks went up.
should I just replace the dead drive?  or is there a bigger/different
problem going on here?

This happened when I tried a full restart after noticing the raid not
responding.  my computer had shown a load average of 14+ and 100% wa
before restarting.  The computer never shut all the way down, and I
had to hard power off.  Load looks fine now.

Thank you,
Talik Eichinger
