(And raidstop/start the drive). If not, while the array is started, run 'raidhotadd' on the drive. It will treat the out of sync drive as a new spare.. then once it's done syncing the spare it will treat the spare as if it was the drive missing (that is, it will upgrade it's status as a spare to a full fledge drive). p.s. I'm not an expert, but I did just have to do this on mine (except the auto part didn't work, so I had to use the hotadd part). -Gryn (Adam Luter) On Mon, Sep 30, 2002 at 02:56:49PM +0100, Mike Parsons wrote: > Hi all > > I have a 3 disk soft raid5 array.
