Another bioctl related question, right out of curiosity.
What happens when one or more disks in a RAID fail?
I mean, I suppose some kind of error messages will be logged and/or sent to
console.
I also imagine bioctl softraid? will show useful messages.
Can anyone point me to some documentation explaining the various possible error
messages and their meaning?
Thank you all once more.
