Resolving Conflicts

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk

includes drive connection information (Primary Master, Primary

Slave, Secondary Master, Secondary Slave). If, after a disk failure,

the replacement  disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in

another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in

reference to the drive connection information.  If so, this will

prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt, in order

for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be

first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, press 

F4,

the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection

information, will be written to the replacement disk.
