Hello, I experienced what probably many of you experienced before me: one disk in my RAID-1-array died, I got a new one and reconstructed the array. Everything went fine. However, there was warranty on the dead drive and I eventually got it back, now having one spare drive. Is there a way to integrate that drive as a hot spare so the array will not fall into degraded mode even if another drive fails? I mean, I could write a config-file which contains this array with a spare and do a "raidhotadd --configfile=", but will that work and leave my data untouched? Sincerely, -- Dipl.-Chem.
