But I could remove one Samsung disk from md2, dd it, re add it and do this procedure for the other three Samsungs. What about the WD green? I tried to dd them yesterday but when I wanted to stream a movie from the server it stopped. Sometimes I couldn't even ssh into the server and when I could the remote shell froze after a very short time. Should I try to dd them again but one after the other so that I know which one makes problems?
