And it'll be necessary to manually write some RAID metadata on the HDD.

Actually, there's no physical object "missing disk". in fact, this virtual object just tells R-Studio to act as if there's a faulty hard drive in the RAID. Nothing even is calculated for it.
But that's an interesting idea, though.

Reconstruct and dump a "Missing disk"of a RAID 5 set

Hello

I'm wondering if it is available this feature:

There is a RAID 5 made of 4 disks.

One disk is missing and reconstructing the RAID using the Missing Disk feature, works perfectly, like a charm. Mean that the remaining drives are consistent and also the parity.

Now for some reasons, we need to use the 3 available drives and the available parity rotation, to reconstruct the missing disk. I mean dump its reconstruction to an disk image or even dump it directly to a blank physical hard drive.

Is this possible?

Thank you

C.
