    I've got a software RAID array on my server, it's a RAID1 array with two
    drives known as /dev/md0 made of up /dev/had and /dev/hdb. This is the
    primary boot device as well. /dev/had has failed and I need to replace
    it. However, since /dev/had is where the BIOS looks to boot, how do I
    do this without blowing myself up?

     

    Should I swap had and hdb so the good drive is first and replace the
    second drive? Has anyone done this before?
