Thanks. That reminds me: If I need to replace it, is there some easy way to figure out which drive bay is sdf? It's an old Supermicro rack chassis with 6 drive bays. Perhaps a way to blink the drive light?
It's easy enough with dd. Be sure it's the drive you want to find then put dd if=/dev/sdf of=/dev/null into a shell, but don't run it. Look at the drives and hit enter and watch for which one lights up. Then ^c while watching to be sure the light turns off exactly when you hit it.
