> This has happened with 7 (seven!!) disks already, 80GB and 120GB, > Maxtor and Seagate. Has anyone else seen this? sure. but you should be asking what's wrong with your environment or supply chain to cause this kind of disk degradation. how's your cooling? power? some people claim that if you put a normal (desktop) drive into a 24x7 server (with real round-the-clock load), you should expect failures quite promptly. I'm inclined to believe that with MTBF's upwards of 1M hour, vendors would not claim a 3-5yr warranty unless the actual failure rate was low, even if only running 8/24. - 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
