Is there anyone out there who can answer my question: RAID1 in bay 1 and 2. In the last bay, a hotspare disk that simply integrates itself directly into RAID 1 as soon as a disk fails. Question: Now RAID 1 in bay 1 and in the last bay = unattractive. What happens if I replace the failed disk in bay 2? Does the hotspare then become the hotspare again or does bay 2 become the hotspare? This is a complicated question that I couldn't find out anywhere on the internet. Otherwise I will have to carry out a practical test. Thanks =)
If the failed disk in bay 2 is replaced, it can be reconfigured as a hot spare.
Or dissolve RAID-1 and reconfigure with disks in bay 1&2 and configure disk in bay 4 as hotspare (backup recommended before).
