Hi,
I'm doing a series of bonnie tests along with a fair amount of file
md5summing to determine speed and reliability of a raid5 configuration.
I have 5 drives on a TekRam 390U2W adapter. 3 of the drives are the same
seagate barracuda 9.1 gig drive. The other two are the 18 gig barracuda's.
Two of the nine gigs fail - consistently - when I run bonnie tests on
them. One will get flagged as bad in one run and die out. This one I can
confirm is bad b/c it fails on its own outside of the raid array (it
fails to be detected by linux at all - no partitions are found and it
can't be started) - the other passes a badblocks -w test and appears to
work. However it ALWAYS fails when its a part of the array and a bonnie
test is run.
Does this sound like a hardware fault? If so why is it only occurring when
raid is used?
thanks
