January 15, 201313 yr Hey guys, following up on this 18 month old feature request for having native hot spare support http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14254.0 I wanted to ask you if its already possible, to setup a disc as hot spare when you only have a single free disc slot meant for a cache drive and all other slots are already used by unraid. Since I found quite a lot helpful how-tos in this forum, maybe I oversaw one for hot spare functionality? The search didnt bring up anything useful for me. any hint is highly appreciated. cheers!
January 15, 201313 yr I would preclear it, then do an hdparm -y /dev/sd? on the drive's id and leave it in place. When you need it, it will be precleared and ready to be assigned into the failing position. Let's call this a warm spare rather then hot spare.
January 16, 201313 yr Author thanks I will do so. And are there lately any official announcements if such a feature will follow or not?
