Hi,
I'd appreciate some help if anyone has ran into this issue before. I
have a blueonyx server with raid1. One of the drives was complaining of
SMART errors so proactively I decided to replace the drive. When I do,
the server freezes during the boot and displays “Kernel panic - not
syncing - Attempted to kill init”. If I put the failing drive back in
the server boots normally again. I think I have replaced drives
previously without issue. Should I be using mdadm to remove the failing
drive first?
Here is some output that I thought may be useful from googling other
posts about similar issues.
