Does anybody know how I can "crash" the raid-5 volume _without_ removing hot-swap disk from enclosure? Camcontrol stop only stops the disk for a moment, then it spins up again. I don't want to physically remove disk because it's risky business and probably can be one source of problems I had with raid-5 volume. There should be another way. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
