Hey guys.
I've got a 1TB RAID5 array with 3x500gb drives. I just RMA'd a drive.
Can someone help me properly swap out /dev/sdd for the new drive?
I've done this before but I've had issues that bugged me. Everything
worked fine, but if I would examine details on drives, I'd have FOUR
drives listed with the old drive always missing. So I guess I wasn't
properly removing the current drive? Or maybe I marked it as failed
but didn't remove it?
In any case it drove me nuts having that array working but having that
phantom old drive haunting me in the details of the array.
Thanks,
Greg
