Incorrect, with RAID 1, you have two partitions, or complete drives in my case, that are exactly the same, both written to at the same time with the same data.

Almost correct. At least with Linux software RAID, and I am pretty sure with any RAID, once you replace the disk it automatically syncs the other disk, no need to copy or format. You do need to partition it correctly size wise and type.
You have to add it back on, with the mdadm command. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
