[Linux-cluster] Replacing a RAID 5 disk, then...

[Anthony]

Dear Derek,

Thanks a lot for your answer, indeed, i have a Hardware Raid 5, it is an 
internal MegaRaid product.
i hope that the reconstruction will be ok.
Any ideas how much time the reconstruction will take (it is 5*146GB SCSI 
HD)?


Regards,
Anthony.
