Hi all After reading this list for some time, there's a single mode of failure that's repeated over and over: RAID-5 loses a drive and finds bad data on another (or just loses another). This is rather normal, far more than documented by the disk vendors. This is also the case with "professional" systems with "enterprise" drives. So, if you can afford another drive, please use RAID-6. Do *not* trust RAID-5 with something like 8 drives. Also, maybe this should be on an FAQ/RAID tutorial somewhere?
