I know this is a real basic question, but did you fail then remove the old
drive first?


Hi Scott,

Yes I did, but half the problem is/may be that the faulty drive is not even
'seen' by the server and so software RAID takes it out of the mirrored
pairing on boot and I am pretty sure that when I 'failed' it it threw an
error that the drive wasn't there anyway. I will try again and also see if I
can get the drive recognised so I can 'fail' it.

Thanks again for the feedback

Nigel
