which might look like "did you do your homework before asking"
while it was not my intention.

It is not quite obvious what to look for in the archives to find an answer.

I have been in your situation (repairing volumes or servers) some time

Jan was kind to thoroughly go through the details again, which of course
supersedes the old references.
