This is why you should always have at least one hot spare. Any even halfway-decent RAID setup will detect failure and automatically begin rebuilding the failed drive on to the spare. I've worked with arrays that had more than 12 drives and I have never seen more than one failure at a time. Of course that was with server-quality hardware, if you go out and buy the cheapest drives you can find and run them off the cheapest power supply you can find then you might have a lot more failures.... -- Michael Heironimus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
