Homelab Hero · No. 005

One incident. Three calls.

Wednesday, 5:50 AM. Your Proxmox node flags one SSD in its mirrored boot pair: wearout at 92%, read errors climbing. The surviving drive is the same model, bought the same week. A spare SSD sits in a drawer, and every VM you own boots from that mirror.

Your call:

A. Swap the failing drive now and resilver before work — the mirror is the backup

B. Back the VMs up to the NAS, check the surviving drive's health, then swap and resilver while you watch it

C. Order two new drives and leave the mirror alone until they arrive Friday

100 Hero Points for the right call — 200 on the Friday Boss Fight. From Issue No. 005 of The Homelab Herald. Your result lands on the next page, ready to share.
