SCSI

[Neil Shaw]

Hi,

Wonderful thing this morning of one of our mirrored SCSI disks dying.
What I need to know is how important is it that the replacement disk is
of the same capacity as the existing one? I know there'll be wasted
space on a larger one, but we really don't want to replace both disks at
once, but want to increase the capacity as and when things allow.

Also, how does Win2K go about resyncing when the faulty disk is replace?
And how long is this likely to take on a U160 SCSI card with disk speed
of 10k RPM?

Thanks

It should be equal or larger and the same speed.
