Failure of a **DRIVE** should not effect the SCSI bus at all.
Failure of the *controller* (real failures are very rare, normally it is power
loss) can cause

We've experienced a few odd anomalies during testing our IDE RAID-5
array ( 6 x 16gb =80g).
We started with a good running array and did an e2fsck to ensure its
integrity...
We simulated a drive failure by disconnecting a drive's power, and if
the IDE channel contained a second drive in the RA

Are you sure that the FS was OK before you star
Hello all,
We have implemented a RAID-5 array on one of our systems here,
and are doing some testing on it. It's a 6 disk array of 16GB drives
all on /dev/md0 with the e2fs made with 'mke2fs -b 4096 -R stride=8
/dev/md0'.
1.Is the array still useable after it looses a drive?
