What I did was I pulled a drive. Under /proc/mdstat, it showed that my partition failed. I then issued 'raidhotremove /dev/md2 /dev/sda3'. I reinserted the drive and waited for the bus to rescan my drive. I then issued a command 'raidhotadd /dev/md2 /dev/sda3' and let it rebuild. I was able to see the progress of the rebuild under /proc/mdstat. My controller is Adaptec 7899 with a hot-swappable backplane. I'm using rh7.3. Was I able to do it right?
