Hi,

I have 4 HD's (hot swapables) running a RAID 5, so 2 HD mirror the other 2
HD's. Today Drive number 2 probably died because my TC4100 server is beeping
and the drive itself is showing a Orange led instead of the green flashing
ones. I have a spare machine with the same specs just sitting in case of an
emergency, What would happend if I swap the dead drive with the spare one if
I'm running a SCO 5.0.5 computer without shutting down the computer ? Would
it kill the file system ? Is it better to wait until the end of the day and
do the operation or just do it now ?

Thanks
