I'm pretty sure all the bad ones we had (at least the one I found at my location) "failed" the quick test in that after the quick test it asked me to run the full test, after which it spit out the magic fault code to give Maxtor's RMA form. Another possibility that comes to mind is that your power supply could be inadequate to run the system and all the drives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
