hi ya raiders ..
we(they) have 14x 72GB scsi disks config'd as raid5,
( no hot spare .. )
- if 1 disk dies, no problem ... ez to recover
- my dumb question is,
- if 2 disks dies at the same time, i
assume the entire raid5 is basically hosed
if it won't reassemble and resync from
the point where it last was before the crash ??
- i assume that the similar 2 disk failure
also applies to hw raid controllrs, but it'd
be more dependent upon the raid controller's
firmware for it's ability to recover from
2 of 14 simultaneous disk failures
( lets say the dell powervault 2205 series )
- i think 4x 300GB ide disks is better ( less likely to fail ?? )
and yes it has already crashed twice with
2 different disks running at 78F at nights
and weekends when the air conditioning is off
- i wish i can just change things but... its
not yet my call :-)
c ya
alvin
