I am in the process of fixing a broken RAID set up. The faulty disk has been removed and a new one inserted. I have been following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xP9eUsbNF8 to help me along as I am a novice when it comes to this. The person in the video mentions copying a partition table from a working disk and applying it to the new one using fdisk.
I can't do this step as my system in this state can't find fdisk. Here are the list of available commands. Is there away for me to point my system to where fdisk should be? Is there another way around this issue with the available built-in commands? Or is it possible for me to take a working disk and the new disk from my server, connect them to a working Ubuntu machine and use fdisk to partition the new disk there, transfer back to the server and carry on?
A friend set up this server for me but unfortunately no longer around for me to ask for help. The system is running Ubuntu server with a software RAID, either RAID 5 or 6 I can't remember. But there are 4 2TB disks combining for 6TB of usable storage.
This previous question has some extra info of my system where I was asking for some information and feedback before I bought a new disk and started pulling things apart Ubuntu Server Cannot start dirty degraded array
Thanks
