The following reply was made to PR kern/157293; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Garrett Cooper <yanegomi@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, jonathan@kc8onw.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/157293: [mfi] mfiutil/mfi does not allow adding a previously configured drive to be added to a new array Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 01:18:05 -0700 (PDT) I wish I had seen this issue earlier so I could have sent a suggestion (in all fairness this should have been a post to an email list, like freebsd-scsi, freebsd-stable, or even freebsd-questions. If you have a degraded stripe-only RAID, then you're basically SOL. That aside.. if you didn't use a straight RAID-0, you could have readded the new drive as a hot spare like so: mfiutil add <drive-number> <volume> and the controller would have added the drive to your RAID. That's all you need to do when rebuilding a degraded, recoverable RAID via mfiutil. HTH, -Garrett
