We have recently added 20 servers to our little farm, 7 of which were having hard failuers on disks (SATA, Seagate, good brand new SuperMicro boxes) The fact is that this failures are coming up right after we decided to move to reiserfs. Can 7 out of 20 hard drives be defective (yes, of course, but what is the % probability for this)? Can this anyhow be related with reiserfs?
You might want to check the power in your datacentre. I have come across an issue where servers in a particular rack failed a lot, particularly the hard disks. An in depth investigation of that particular rack revealed a faulty power strip in that rack.
