Thanks all. Last question. If I have my system as 3 disks in RAID5
array and the 4th disk as a hot spare. Do I still need to format the
4th disk with a filesystem (ext4)? Or will that occur when the
software discovers a disaster in the RAID volume and then starts to
sync the 'hot spare' into the degraded array to take the place of the
failed drive?
The 4th disk does have a 'fd' (RAID) partition table created but no
file system. Just trying to understand how that would work...
