The last three nights, one of my USB controllers has gone offline in the middle of the night, knocking 4 of my 8 disks offline. The first two times, I was able to get it working again with mdadm -A /dev/md0 -f /dev/sd[hgeflkji]. I tried that this morning and it's not working. Any ideas?

Code:
[root@dl380g5 ~]# mdadm --examine /dev/sd[efghijkl] |egrep 'Event'
         Events : 37261
         Events : 37261
         Events : 37261
         Events : 37261
         Events : 37249
         Events : 37248
         Events : 37249
         Events : 37248
[root@dl380g5 ~]# mdadm -A /dev/md0 --force -v /dev/sd[hgeflkji]
