I pulled ONCE the wrong disk out of a Raid5 array. :-( You know what that means?
You mean, it is not OK to pull out a "functioning" disk? Pulling one disk out of RAID 5 should be OK. Am I missing something?
Usually you would be swapping drives to repair an already-broken raid. Unless you have a hot spare and the raid has already rebuilt on it, pulling a working disk will take a 2nd drive out of the failed raid5 and kill it.
Thanks I get it now :)
