Sorry for the noob question but I want to make sure I get this right.
I have a raid 1 (sata) running on an active server - mdadm reports sda1 as
faulty. Running "mdadm --examine /dev/sda1" shows the state as dirty, no
errors - no failed devices. Can I assume the disk is ok, just needs to be
re-added to the array?
I'm assuming I need to first remove sda1 from the raid then re-add it,
correct? If so, what are the specific steps? Can this be done safely on a
live server without pulling the system down? How will this affect rebooting
once completed - if at all? Any gotchas I should look out for?
Here's some mdadm output...
