Hi, I've got home mounted on a LVM partition over two RAID 1 arrays. Unfortunately one of the disks in the second array has dropped out. I can still fdisk -l it, but when I ran dd if=/dev/sdd1 of=/dev/null it got about 132M through a 2Tb drive before crashing out. This doesn't bode well.
I can't really afford a new drive, but was wondering if I should just reformat, try and check it for errors and then try and add it back to the array? I was hoping that doing that might allow it to exclude any bad blocks and get me something working for a while whilst I save up. If anyone has any comments, suggestions or queries, I'd be glad to hear them, Thanks, James
