Hello.
We are right now having a 360 TB Raid-system with 3-Ware controllers. Unfortunately there are 2 ways
a disk can fail: A complete sudden fail, which results in a immediate shutdown of the disk, causing
the array to continue in degraded mode (raid5), and the soft-fail, which results in a complete hang
of the system, the system always prints errors of timeout sending command, card was resetted. A
hard-remove of the drive clears the problem, but I dont think thats supposed to be that way, is it?
The warnings below keep printed for hours, until the drive is removed. In this time the IOs hang.
