I went to remove sda from the caddy to discover that the disk wasn't properly located. Plug in it and voila, I can see it. It's now back in the host server, where following Steve's advice I had confirmed I could see it on its own, so it now has my new drive along side it. However, when I try to rebuild the array I get the same errors as above.
Could you be a bit more specific as to what the errors are?
At the moment this is feeling like a controller issue? (Or maybe PSU?)
Could be a controller, or possibly both disks have failed somehow. Could it be software config somehow? I guess it could perhaps be PSU, if it wasn't supplying correct power to the drives, but I'd think that was unlikely.
1st things first - can you successfully copy any/all info off sda? If so, that solves your data preservation issue.
How are you adding the new drive to the array and triggering a rebuild?
Cheers Steve
