Looks like the infamous and somewhat nebulous "punctured stripe". Your PERC is presenting the RAID volume as an emulated hard disk, and when you end up with emulated bad blocks, they'll move around WRT the actual physical drives. The only sure way to get rid of them is said to be recreating the volume from scratch and reloading the files from backup. There are people participating on this list who understand this far better than I do, and I hope one or more of them elaborate for us. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
