Finding the right disk

Post by Tharbad »

Hi all,

ada4 just died in my array so I took it offline. When I open the PC, How can I find the right disk?

Thanks

This is why you put the serial number on each drive with label maker.... now you have to hunt for it.

Look for the info for it in smart (serial number) and find it?

Good luck, this sounds like a pain.

Alternative.

If you made a backup of your configuration (config xxx.xml) open it with a text editor (wordpad) and locate the serial number of your disk.

Thanks. Getting it from the backup was easier.
