Hi Vaheh,

RAID on Linux comes in different flavours and levels; the flavours are software 
RAID (mdadm) and hardware RAID (dedicated RAID controller or motherboard), and 
the levels are RAID0 RAID1 RAID5 RAID6 RAID10 and a few others. These details 
influence what the user will notice when a disk goes bad. Without knowing what 
you have, it is difficult to help.

As an example, by default in my lab we have the operating system on mdadm RAID1 
which consists of two disks that mirror each other. If one of the disks fails, 
typically we only notice this when inspecting the system log files. Replacing 
the disk, and re-silvering the RAID1 is not trivial and requires some reading 
of material on the web. 

It sounds like you don't have this type of RAID1, or maybe there is some 
mis-configuration.

good luck,
Kay
