Kernel 2.4.27
I've been using the old raidtools stuff and am new to mdadm - sorry if this
is a obvisouly simply question...
After perusing the man page, is looks to me that I should use mdadm to mark
the drive I want to remove as failed to force a rebuild on the spare drive.
I want to double check that this is correct first though, as this md device
contains 300 gig of production data.
Thanks for the help!

Hi!
I have a 4 drive SW RAID5 running on my machine. One of the drives is
upset for some reason - I'm not sure if the drive itself is bad, but
that's not too important right now. The important thing is to get the
RAID5 to stop using this drive and start using a spare drive that I
just added.
I did a raidhotadd to add in a new drive, sds. Now, I would like the
array to stop using sdr and reconstruct all of the parity tables on
sds so I can pull sdr and get it replaced or whatever...
Any ideas?
Install and read the manpage for mdadm
What kernel version?
