6. Reconstruction
If you've read the rest of this HOWTO, you should already have a pretty good
idea about what reconstruction of a degraded RAID involves. I'll summarize:
Power down the system
Replace the failed disk
Power up the system once again.
Use raidhotadd /dev/mdX /dev/sdX to re-insert the disk in the array
Have coffee while you watch the automatic reconstruction running
And that's it.
