I think you meant /dev/sde instead of sd3, right? If not, please correct me. If I'm not mistaken, mdadm will report the broken drive, then I have to look for the drive that corresponds to the 4th sata slot on the motherboard. That's part of my issue, can I be sure that the drive connected to port 4 is /dev/sde? It's not a problem for the other 2 drives, as they differ in capacity, but these 4 are exactly the same size. Also how accurate is mdadm in identifying the failed drive? As there are only 2 in an array, there is only 1 copy of the data to compare to. It also seems my last message was sent twice, sorry about that. -- Rarely do people communicate; they just take turns talking. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
