Since my experience with RAID is minimal (using a motherboard with built-in hardware RAID that could not be shut-off on the drive ports I had to use), I assume that if a mirror drive dies, you swap it, and let the RAID do its own magic to incorporate the replacement drive into the system, it handles filling up the new drive with partitions and data from the other drive without cloning IDs. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.88.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 15:41:52 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
