I have 2 x 250GB hdd in raid1. Now, I will have to replace one of them. The problem is, that the spare disk is slightly smaller vs. original one. Is that ok, or should I expect any problem? Original disk: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes spare disk: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250058268160 bytes David
That is a problem indeed. The solution would be to shrink the RAID array a bit. Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-resize-raid-partitions-shrink-and-grow-software-raid http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-resize-lvm-software-raid1-partitions-shrink-and-grow
