TCLUG, ...The question asked by Ryan... Is it a hardware or software RAID? Good question...the answer is software Raid 1. I have 2-500 gig SATA drives and on each drive is... 1-2 gig partition for swap. 1-488 gig partition for /. Do I just swap/replace the drive??? Or do I partition and format the new drive and then add it???
