I recently had to throw out an old NAS I've been using for over 10 years. However I rescued the 2 HDDs and got a dual-slot USB SATA docking station for them. To my astonishment Fedora recognised them immediately as a RAID1 array (formatted with XFS) without me doing anything. However gsmartcontrol reports that one of the HDDs has internal errors. Would it be best to correct these using mdadm (assuming they can be corrected), and if so, how? Or should I do an offline copy with the docking station's "clone" button? Are there any general recommendations for monitoring these beasties? I don't want to change anything for the time being and will be using the thing mainly for backup, but I see there is such a thing as mdmon which isn't currently running. Should it be? I have no previous experience with md devices. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
