If you're trying to simplify the solution & reduce your workload. . .
I would forego the whole G4L part and simply buy a new drive and
restore from backup.
And to avoid such pain in the future, I would ditch the sw RAID and
buy a HW raid solution.

Hello list,
I have a first generation XServe, with a 60GB boot drive and three
120GB
7200 RPM "Apple branded" IBM Deathstars which are in a RAID-0
configuration. Lo and behold one of the RAIDed drives failed. What
I've done is this, and am asking for any suggestions on the best
course
of action to take at this point.
The failed drive was completely dead, I was able to swap the IO board
with another one of the drives to get the drive spinning up again.
I am
able to see the drive successfully, it appears as slice 2, and I
see the
RAID container name in Disk Utility (attached to a workstation G4.)
Should I buy a replacement drive from Apple, use Ghost 4 Linux (G4L),
copy the failed disk to the new one, then put the drives back into the
XServe?
If I did this, do you think I would have to run any repairs on the
array, or do you think the RAID volume would just pop up like nothing
happened?
Thanks for any advise!
Julian
