...and I was going to yank and replace this drive once I verified that all of the other drives were good but another support person I work with claims that, since this drive is still actively being written to (unlike a failed drive which would force the array to utilize the parity info), hot swapping the drive may cause data loss. I was further urged to boot into the array boot utility after cold-swapping the drive in order to rebuild the array. I don't mind doing this but I reeaaaaallly want to reduce down-time. A quick search online yeilds mixed opinions on what to do -- which brings me here. I'd love to hear your opinion. Thanks!
