> I believe you are confusing raid with backup. For lots of people the primary role of RAID is as a protection against data-loss nowadays. Backups just aren't feasible/cost-effective anymore for the amounts of data involved. Sticking your head in the sand and repeating that mantra doesn't change that and it isn't helping. > The easiest and cleanest solution is to dd the first and last 100mb or > so of the disks with /dev/zero. Great, that'll destroy all hope of getting the data back. You're really something ... How about don't panic, post any and all error messages you're getting (dmesg) and wait?
