Question... in viewing the disk drives from the front of the chassis, are the drives oriented as /dev/sda => /dev/sdd going from left to right? If not, is there a way to identify which drive is which?
I'd guess left-to-right, but I don't have a rack-mount, so I am not sure.
disk_info.log gives you the serial numbers of the disks, so after the backup you could power down, pull the drives, and check for the serial numbers.
Once you have a full backup, it might be simpler to do a factory detault with the new drives in place. You can save the config files first, and re-apply them after the default to speed things up. There are a couple of settings that will miss (but unfortunately I don't recall which ones). If you have installed apps, make sure you re-install them before you restore the config.
The log files indicate that the file system has become Read-Only. I'm not sure how this occurred. Any suggestions regarding how to get around this and restore R/W access?
