Homelab Hero · No. 011: your result

Forced back in. 0 Hero Points.

The drive fell out for a reason — a dying disk, a bad cable, a controller hiccup — and forcing it back in without checking which one means the pool resilvers onto a suspect disk while you sleep. If it drops again mid-resilver, you have spent the night stressing the survivors to rebuild onto hardware you never cleared.

The lesson: A drive that fell out is evidence, not a spare. Find out why before it rejoins the pool.
