    Best practises for managing software raid arrays

    With mdadm was only able to add a new drive to the using the --force function. I do not feel comfortable with using the function that way though.

    When I remove a disk in VMWare, it perfectly says that the drive is lost and the array is degraded (mdadm --detail /dev/md0). Although after re-adding the drive, it immediately shows device as busy for both mdadm and sfdisk when I don't use --force.

    Recovery and repairation of degraded array worked fine with sfdisk --force, mdadm --add --force, it automatically started recovering and took not so long.

    What are best practises to manage software raid-1 arrays?
