Apologies if you get this twice - the first one didn't seem to make it...
Hi Guys,
I have just replaced a faulty Max...woah, wait...this one's a Seagate... IDE hard disk but I cannot remake the software raid pair.
[SNIP]
I know this is a real basic question, but did you fail then remove the old drive first?
Hi Scott,
Yes I did, but half the problem is/may be that the faulty drive is not even 'seen' by the server and so software RAID takes it out of the mirrored pairing on boot and I am pretty sure that when I 'failed' it it threw an error that the drive wasn't there anyway. I will try again and also see if I can get the drive recognised so I can 'fail' it.
Thanks again for the feedback
Nigel
I think you can add a--force to the remove command. Otherwise the drive is still included in the array in the metadata on the good drive.
