Hi! I have a simple sw raid1, over two sata disks. One of the disks started to complain (s.m.a.r.t. errors). I think in the near future i witness a disk failure. But i don't know how this thing is happening with raid1, so i have some questions. If these questions answered somewhere (faq, manpage, url), then feel free to redirect me to this source(s). Can the raid1 detect and handle disk errors? If one block goes wrong, how can the raid1 driver choose which was the correct, original value? Sata systems can die gracefully? When in a good scsi system happens a total disk failure, then the scsi makes the disk fail, mdadm removes the disk from the array, and in the morning i see a nice e-mail. When a PATA disk dies, the system goes down, so i need to call a cab. I dont know how the sata behaves in this situation.
