Replacing Bad drive with bigger drive

[denywinarto 4]

One of my drives is showing smart warning, and i'm gonna RMA it and now i'm buying a new drive,

just wanna make sure this is correct procedure,

1. Insert new drive to rack

2. Add new drive to pool

3. Remove bad drive pool from DP

4. Remove bad drive from rack

Is that it? did i miss anything?

Yup, that's it. 

You can use the "disk usage limiter", but with the revamped removal code, this shouldn't be necessary.

Thanks, seems to work, 

but i found a scanner bug i think,

[Christopher (Drashna) 562]

Using Remote desktop, right?

Yeah, ok, i will try that once scanning is done.

It found another issue though, file system damaged,

should i ignore this or should i remove and chkdsk?

[Christopher (Drashna) 562]

For the file system check, repair it, and it should be fine.

It says volume is busy, should i force repair?

"Forcing a repair will forcefully close any file open on the volume being repaired"

[Christopher (Drashna) 562]

Yes.

If it's still busy, or can't be forced... then it should schedule a repair.
