Hi Brad.
And when we remember back at the issues (IIRC) Seagate had with the firmwares of some of it's devices, that suddenly stopped working at some special date...
I had 10 of those in a RAID-6 at the time. Luckily the firmware bug only manifested itself on a re-start of the drive, and as I probably drop power to the machine once a year (if that), I could drop them out of the array one at a time, upgrade the firmware and re-add it to the array.
A messy process to be sure, but no risk of data loss that way. -- 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
