Hi,
I want to replace my hard drives based SW RAID-1 with SSD's.
What would be the recommended procedure? Can I just remove one drive, replace with SSD and rebuild, then repeat with the other drive?
I suggest to "mdadm --fail" one drive, then "mdadm --remove" it. After replacing the drive you can "mdadm --add" it.
If you boot from the drives you also have to care for the boot loader. I guess this depends on how exactly the system is configured.
Thanks, that's what I had in mind. Of course, I will rebuild grab2 after each iteration.
Thanks Fra
