Raid 1 Mirror on SBS 2003 Resynching
Hallo Everyone,

We are running SBS 2003 R2 with SP 1, with RAID 1 (Mirror) over 2x SATA 1TB disks.

A backgound of what happened is this:-

I replaced our 2x faulty SATA 320Gig disks with 2x SATA 1TB disks, running RAID 1, the reason why I replaced them was that I noticed a bad block on one of the old 320Gig disks. So what I did was to ghost the one "good" old 320Gig onto the new 1TB disk, then istalled the new TB disk in our server and it started up great, I then went into Disk Management and made the TB disk a dynamic disk as required for RAID 1, this worked just fine, I then installed the other "blank" unlocated dynamic TB disk for RAID 1. So I have both the brand new TB disks in the server, the one is a copy of the old 320Gig and working 100% and the other TB disk is dynamic unlocated and ready for RAID 1, so I right click the system disk and add mirror, the resynching starts fine but I notice a yellow exclamation on the new "blank" disk while its resynching, is this normal and will it go away after the sync? Normally I know when there is a REAL error then you get the yellow exclamation with the word "Errors" next to it, is this yellow exclamation I'm seeing now just to draw your attention that its resynching?

That behavior is normal. It will go away when the resync is complete.
