From: Garrett Cooper <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: Subject: Re: kern/157293: [mfi] mfiutil/mfi does not allow adding a previously configured drive to be added to a new array Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 01:18:05 -0700 (PDT) I wish I had seen this issue earlier so I could have sent a suggestion (in all fairness this should have been a post to an email list, like freebsd-scsi, freebsd-stable, or even freebsd-questions. If you have a degraded stripe-only RAID, then you're basically SOL. That aside.. if you didn't use a straight RAID-0, you could have readded the new drive as a hot spare like so: mfiutil add <drive-number> <volume> and the controller would have added the drive to your RAID. That's all you need to do when rebuilding a degraded, recoverable RAID via mfiutil.
