So I have a total of 7 disks in the system, 6 of which are in the RAID and
I need to know that if I want to swap sdb1, which physical disk do I
replace... I know that there is a utility for windows which makes the
drive's LED flash.
I am still looking for a resolution to the
md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one
freshest: sdg1
md: kicking non-fresh sdb1 from array!
unbind<sdb1,5>
export_rdev(sdb1)
problem. Thanks.
