hi, i have four snap! 4000 servers and would like to upgrade them to 400gb (2 x 300gb raid5) configurations. if the opsys is really on the disks, then wouldn't swapping in a new disk - if the snap! is in raid5 config - cause immediate disk repair to commence? and if so, wouldn't the snap server rebuild the new disk?

once the new disk is rebuilt, shouldn't i be able to swap the remaining old disk for another new, larger (same size as first new larger disk) and then have *that* one rebuilt?

finally, the post on converting the snap server to a java/DB server is intriguing. anybody tried this?

tia!
