Hi - One of my drives in 3U server is rebuilding with all the other disks working fine. Is it ok for me to download movies from the Kaliedescape movie store while the drive rebuilds?
 
You can order from the Store, but the actual download will not start until the rebuild is complete.

No new content is permitted to be added to a server when one of its hard disks is degraded or rebuilding. This includes imports and downloads. If an import or download was in progress when a disk failed then that import or download is permitted to finish but no new imports/downloads will begin.

As Jim points out, you can still queue content for download from the store and it will begin downloading once the disk rebuild completes. The download page will display a message reporting that downloads are halted because your server is rebuilding.

Thats another elegant way the system handles itself. This way you can set it up, walk away and come back to a restored system + new movie :)
