Seriously. Getting the serial number with smartctl or hdparm, and searching through the disks for that SN while the machine is offline is probably the safest route if you aren't absolutely certain which drives are where. With anything less certain than the serial number, there's noteable chance you could pick wrong. Depending on what raid level is used, and how failed it is, you might not have the liberty of a second try if you pull the wrong drive with the array in use. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
