Homelab Hero · No. 011: your result

Second-best call. 40 Hero Points.

Nothing gets lost this way, and that earns the partial credit — a restore is the safe pair of hands. But the pool was still reading and writing, so you traded a day of data and a night of downtime for safety the degraded pool had not actually lost, and a single restored drive has less redundancy than the pool you shut down.

The lesson: Safe is not the same as proportionate. Match the response to what is actually broken.
