Good morning,

one of four hds in my LVM2 raid has stopped reacting to SMART commands or anything else. The 16 TB raid system contains four 8 TB hds in a RAID 1 set of two RAID 4 pairs:

RAID 1 ┌ RAID 4 ┌ A
        │        └ B ← needs to be replaced
        │ RAID 4 ┌ C
        └        └ D

I'm a bit out of practice with RAID, but how can you have a RAID 4 array with only two disks? I thought RAID 4 had a dedicated parity disk?
