I am sure this is really simple.
I have a setup of 2 disks (sda, sdb) which are outwardly identical, and are mirrors of each other. Together they form 3 raid1 devices. Both disks can boot.
Now sda has bad sectors, and I should replace it. But which one of the physical disks is sda??
take look at serial number using smartctl
