Two of them are, but they are somewhat older drives, and they didn't have this problem before.

It's possible, but to me this is looking ever less and less like a problem at the drive level. -- 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
