Reconstruct and dump a "Missing disk"of a RAID 5 set
Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2013 3:04 pm
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.
