Thread: Advanced format drive - replacing a failed RAID member


i have 8 disk array of seagate 1.5tb 5900 "green" drives.
had 1 go bad , seagate replaced under warranty.

drive got replacement "advanced format" drive.

code:
old drive:   model family:     seagate barracuda lp  serial number:    9xw05b85    5 reallocated_sector_ct   0x0033   100   100   036    pre-fail        -       0  197 current_pending_sector  0x0012   100   100   000    old_age         -       0     new drive:  model family:     seagate barracuda green (adv. format)  serial number:    6yd05mn6    5 reallocated_sector_ct   0x0033   100   100   036    pre-fail        -       0  197 current_pending_sector  0x0012   100   100   000    old_age         -       0

block counts different on drives - new 1 larger.
used sfdisk duplicate partitons drive , added array.
it's few minutes away rebuilding.

how if problems different format drive cause me?

since used sfdisk , copied partition table on previous setup, work great reason recommend use partitions vs. whole disk mdadm (it's nice able align partition).
