If I clone a drive and then put the new cloned drive into the array
will the array continue working without a rebuild?
----------------
1. Shutdown server/array.
2. Pull drive to be cloned from array.
3. Clone drive using another computer with: 'dd if=/dev/disk1
of=/dev/disk2 bs=8m'.
4. Insert new cloned drive into array.
5. Power Up server/array.
5. ???
6. Profit!
Will this work?
