raid degraded, part 2

[wellie2005]

Could anyone check my settings?

I created a RAID of bay 2 and 3 of the Xserver G5.
Each day we swap bay 3 with an identical drive and let the diskutil automatic rebuild the RAID. Afterwards the RAID is still in degraded state. Even after a reboot.

I also swapped bay 2, the RAID is still working on the spare bay.

Any ideas how to repair this?

Cheers,

Welmoed Davidson

Are you doing this for backup purposes? Swapping out half of your mirror raid daily, that is.

yes, we do this for backup reasons....
