I was merely interested. Recently I had a RAID-1 device get marked as bad, but I couldn't see any SMART errors. So I failed, removed, and then re-added the device. It worked for about a week, then it failed again, but time the SMART errors were obvious. I'd ordered a new drive at the first failure, so I was ready when it failed the second time. I guess the point is that I've seen "bad" drives go "good" again, at least for short periods of time. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
