pankkake: however, for raids with a lot of storage, drives failing all at once is more common
than you would
think
pankkake: I would suspect something with
the host
pankkake: never said anything of
the sort
mircea_popescu: the
trade engine doesn't really keep
that much, plus,
tons of memory and cpu, which i
think helps.
mircea_popescu: it
took half an hour and was complete long before yesterday.
pankkake: while you're rebuilding, you are in a vulnerable state. hence
the "fail half at once" has a higher chance
to occur
than you would
think

times, most recently about 3 days ago. i even said so, at

time
to rebuild)

them... not monitor
the cameras, for five minutes.
mircea_popescu: pankkake
this shit's supposed
to
take hotswapping for
that matter.
pankkake: the
thing is, "once" is actually a long
time,
the
time you can change
the drive and rebuild
pankkake: and WD was nice enough
to exchange my last drive even
though my evidence was
thin
jurov: pankkake: regardless of checks, ever had half of
the drives fail aat once?
pankkake: my regular checks allowed me
to replace drives before
they fail, so just saying
pankkake: I don't know what you are doing with
the raids, but scrubing
the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce
those kind of occurences
mircea_popescu: benkay no, i just had a moment of drool at
the
thought someone somewhere is making me a dollie :D
