Hi all, I have one drive fails on a software 2TB RAID1. I have removed the failed partition from mdraid and now ready to replace the failed drive.
I want to ask for opinion if there is better way to do that other than: 1. Put the new HDD. 2. Use parted to recreate the same partition scheme. 3. Use mdadm to rebuild the RAID.
Especially #2 is rather tricky. I have to create an exact partition scheme. Can I just clone the partition table without the data in it using parted? How?
Thank you, Fajar.
