i have openmediavault 6.9.16-1 (Shaitan) running using a Buffalo nas box. for the system i am using an USB drive. then i have 4x 4tb drives in raid 5 configuration about half full with media. today i got a warning about a S.M.A.R.T failure on one drive, when i go to check sure enough i see under devices that SDA has a few bad sectors, i guess its time to replace.
i need to know how to go about this, first i will get an external drive and backup my data. but how do i replace to rebuild the raid or do i have to wipe and start over?
