Subject: replace disk in raid5 without linux noticing?
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 16:31:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200604191631.04305.Dexter.Filmore@gmx.de> (raw)

Let's say a disk in an array starts yielding smart errors but is still 
functional.
So instead of waiting for it to fail completely and start a sync and stress 
the other disks, could I clone that disk to a fresh one, put the array 
offline and replace the disk?
