Hi Folks,
it appears one of the disks in my s'ware RAID is failing. So I've come
to SLUG for some consensus and confirmation.
1. How do I go about rebuilding the RAID with ALL brand new disks
(obviously no longer the same disks, but now newer spec larger disks)
such that I don't lose not only the data but don't have to rebuild the
whole machine again?
2. I'm better sticking with linux s'ware RAID rather than setting up a
m'board BIOS supported RAID aren't I?
3. It's been a while since I delved into h'ware etc. So SATA II disks
will simply plug into, and function correctly, SATA plugs, yes or no? Or
are we now at a stage where I also have to worry about whether or not
the m'board will actually support the disks I want to put in?
