== HowTo: Remove a disk from the RAID1 Array from the command Line ==
  −
  −
=== Look at the mdstat ===
  −
  −
First we must determine which drive is in default.
  −
  −
  −
[root@sme8-64-dev ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
  −
Personalities : [raid1]
  −
md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
  −
      104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
  −
     
  −
md2 : active raid1 sdb2[2](F) sda2[0]
  −
      52323584 blocks [2/1] [U_]
  −
     
  −
unused devices: <none>
  −
  −
(S)= Spare
  −
(F)= Fail
  −
[0]= number of the disk
  −
  −
{{notebox|as we can see the partition sdb2 is in default, we can see the flag: sdb2 [2] (F)
  −
we need to resynchronize the disk sdb to the existing raid md2.}}
  −
  −
=== Fail and remove the disk, '''sdb''' in this case ===
  −
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --fail /dev/sdb2'''
  −
mdadm: set /dev/sdb2 faulty in /dev/md2
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --remove /dev/sdb2'''
  −
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb2
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --fail /dev/sdb1'''
  −
mdadm: set /dev/sdb1 faulty in /dev/md1
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb1'''
  −
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb1
  −
  −
=== Do your Disk Maintenance here ===
  −
  −
At this point the disk is idle.
  −
  −
[root@sme8-64-dev ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
  −
Personalities : [raid1]
  −
md1 : active raid1 sda1[0]
  −
      104320 blocks [2/1] [U_]

{{notebox|You'll have to determine if your disk can be reinstated at the array. In fact sometimes a raid can get out of sync after a power failure but also some outages times for physical disk itself. It is necessary to test the hard drive if this occurs repeatedly. For this we will use smartctl.}}

=== Add the partitions back ===
  −
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb1'''
  −
mdadm: hot added /dev/sdb1
  −
[root@ ~]# '''mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdb2'''

mdadm: hot added /dev/sdb2

=== Another Look at the mdstat ===
