# raidhotgenerateerror(8)

mark a disk faulty and remove it from a RAID array

## NAME

raidhotgenerateerror - mark a disk faulty and remove it from a RAID array

## SYNOPSIS

**raidhotgenerateerror** \[--all\] \[--configfile\] \[--help\] \[--version\] \[-achv\] \[*RAID-ARRAY*\] \[*TARGET-DISK*\] **raidsetfaulty** \[--all\] \[--configfile\] \[--help\] \[--version\] \[-achv\] \[*RAID-ARRAY*\] \[*TARGET-DISK*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**raidsetfaulty** and **raidhotgenerateerror** mark an active disk faulty and thus remove it from the RAID array. This is of course dangerous: no array should stay in a 'faulty' state for a long time, a disk failure in that period of time is not recoverable and data might be lost. Nevertheless this utility is a useful extension of administration and hot-plug utilities.
