Well true but I read Holger's 'incomplete' to be 'not enough left to function'. That is 3 missing in a RAID 6, 2 missing in a RAID 5 or RAID 1 situation. Less missing than that and you're 'Degraded' not 'Dead'.

Robert,
to shorten your story - you cannot recover a RAID set which is
incomplete. Full stop.

Not entirely true: RAID 1 (full mirroring) is recoverable so long as at
least one drive in each mirrored pair is functioning.

And parity systems are recoverable so long as only one drive is dead or
missing.
