Message-ID: <6473812.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


Sorry for the noob question but I want to make sure I get this right.

I have a raid 1 (sata) running on an active server - mdadm reports sda1 as
faulty.  Running "mdadm --examine /dev/sda1" shows the state as dirty, no
errors - no failed devices.  Can I assume the disk is ok, just needs to be
re-added to the array?

I'm assuming I need to first remove sda1 from the raid then re-add it,
correct?  If so, what are the specific steps?  Can this be done safely on a
live server without pulling the system down?  How will this affect rebooting
once completed - if at all?  Any gotchas I should look out for?


Here's some mdadm output...
