I shut the server down and pulled the drive a week ago. New drive arrived today.. Can i just put the new drive in, boot it up, stop the array and start from set #7? Array was still running when i shutdown. And will auto start when i boot. Edit: Seems to have worked https://i.imgur.com/vd19Gnc.png Edited July 5, 2017 by superderpbro Quote Link to comment
