You may need to remove the failed drive from the array: mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/hda1 Do the above for each respective raid partition. Assuming hda is the failed physical device. > - you will be able to install a new disk, partition it the > same as the disk you're replacing, and "the raid" should > start syncing the new disk into the raid array > Actually, you'll need to run the following command for each raid partition: mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/hda2 Where hda2 is the new disk, and md1 is the raid partition. To view the rebuild progress: mdadm --detail /dev/md1 You'll probably want to install grub on the new drive: device (hd0) /dev/hda root (hd0,0) install /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst Refer to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2002-03/msg00047.html for more details about installing grub on the other drive. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
