REBUILDING THE RAID 5 ARRAY
If one of the disk drives from the RAID 5 array fails, you need to replace the failed drive
with a new one and then rebuild the array to re-generate the lost data on the newly
added drive.
The LEDs for each disk drive in the array indicate the general state of the corresponding
disk.
A blue light indicates the disk is powered up properly, while a blank LED indicates the
disk is not working.
You can also verify the health of the array by clicking the Ubuntu search icon and then
entering “disks” in the search bar.
The
Disks
window shows the degraded state of the array.
