We are running FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.10 on Intel SR2300
servers with 1-2 GB of memory and Adaptec 2100s or

146GB 15k drives.
We mirror drives 0 and 2 with drive 1 ad the back up.
But we get alot of server self reboots and then fsck's
to follow. This is causing more downtime as usual.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening,
why the servers are periodically rebooting and also
why we might be seeing more drive failures than before
when running something like Unix or Linux?
I never really got a chance to track down exactly why, but I've used
seagate drives with adaptec raid cards in the past, and I found that
most (if not all) the drives that were declared "bad" by the raid
card, in fact only had a couple of sectors that were bad. Using the
verify utility in the adaptec raid card to re-map the one or two bad
sectors was all that was needed to re-use the drive.
