Rebuilding a RAID Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the
array. This applies only to fault tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 0+1, as well as
a RAID 5. For example, assuming you have a three disk RAID 5 array, and one of the
drives fail, then you need the lost data on the newly added drive.

free disks.
