Hi, following situation: I've a degraded raid1 on a Intel fake raid. I could add the new hdd (sdb) to imsm0, (via mdadm -a /dev/md/imsm0 /dev/sdb). But the members (Volume0 and Volume1) don't recover. How can I add the new hdd to the Volumes, or start the recovery process? Best regards, Michael Fritscher P.S.
