Mmm... as per "man smartctl", LifeTime(hours) is "(sic) The time at which the test took place, measured in hours of disk lifetime". Are both disks "brand new" and "equals" (same manufacturer, same version), not just "same size"? If yes, compare the output of "smartctl -A /dev/sd[ab]" and look for "Power On Hours" values. These, being a raid1, should be similar. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
