Re: [tlug] How to proceed with RAID drive failure [SOLVED]

Josh, Atilla,

Thank you for responding.

gnome-disk-utility for the win!

I got it off the link Josh provided, and it rebuilt my RAID on the new disk on the fly.

Nice.

Thanks to everyone for the help!

This is also true of hardware RAID (except for stand-alone storage
boxes) in that you have to add the drive to the RAID in some sort of
BIOS or by using a CLI tool to instruct the controller to use the
disk.

Or am I missing something?

Cheers,
