Well I tried both and 'yes' it goes down again when reading data from
the drive.

I would be happy to only get half the data back i.e. the data from the
working 75GB hard drive. Is there any way to accomplish this?.
Like replacing the broken hard drive with a new one and creating a new
plex on that or even removing the broken hard drive from the vinum
volume to only run the working hard drive?
I am asking this stuff before trying anything, because I would like to
know what chance I have before trying to change anything on the vinum
config and have it totally screw the data on the discs.


Thanks
