If I have a three disk RAID5 array and one disk seems to be slowly
failing. The disks are on hot-swapable backplane.
I know that 'echo "scsi remove-single-device X X X X" > /proc/scsi/scsi'
works for me and I can remove and replace the disk, but NOT as long it is
in use in RAID5 array. I don't want to stop the array for two reasons:
1. / file system is on it
2. it's a production machine, running web and mail services for a lot of
users
Is it somehow possible to temporarily mark the disk as unused (failed?),
apply this setting to the running array and thus 'free' the device for
removal?
Thanks, D.
