Wipe Out Reserve Sector
When a disk drive belongs to a logical drive, information about that arrangement
is stored in the Reserve sector. In some cases, the RAID controller will not use a
disk drive that has information in its Reserve sector.
For example, a disk drive that is part of a logical drive fails. If you replace the
failed drive with a drive that was previously used in a logical drive, VTrak will not
use it to rebuild the present logical drive. You must erase the Reserve sector on
the replacement drive first.
