Corrupt Root error during factory default on NVX
I gave up on resurrecting the bad raid array on my trusty old NVX, and I'm trying to re-initialize the device with all new disks. (4x 3TB WD "red" drives from the HCL.) While going through the facto...
Oh, good point. I didn't think of that. A bad bay is unlikely, since it's one that was working up until tonight -- the disk that died on me earlier in the week was in a different bay. But better safe than sorry. I've got a spare non-HCL 3T disk lying around that I can use to test out the drive bay. I wouldn't want to use it long-term, but it should be good enough for a test.
Can anyone think of a quick way to verify that the bay works other than just sticking in the disk and letting the system add it to the raid array? If there's no better way then I can just put in the spare disk and then swap in the WD 3T replacement disk after I return the bad one. I'd prefer to avoid that if I can though, since my most recent attempt to swap a bigger disk into the array was what led to this week's corruption.
