If I clone a drive and then put the new cloned drive into the array will the array continue working without a rebuild? ---------------- 1. Shutdown server/array. 2. Pull drive to be cloned from array. 3. Clone drive using another computer with: 'dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/dev/disk2 bs=8m'. 4. Insert new cloned drive into array. 5. Power Up server/array. 5. ??? 6. Profit!
