I haven't seen this variation discussed.
Have taken out a disk predicted to fail and replaced it with a new one and the RAID5 array is running normally again.
Can I put the original disk in a spare slot on the same controller for testing purposes.
It is unclear to me if this would impact the exisiting array and if it should be formatted first.
I don't have another server in which to delete the RAID5 config on the disk first.
Thanks for any advice.
