Sure, but given the choice between "During a rebuild, it looks like another drive isn't doing so well, so I should give up and trash the array"
and
"During a rebuild, it looks like another drive isn't doing so well, so I should notify the administrator and meanwhile try to maintain as much redundancy as I can"
which is the sensible choice?
- imtringued 7y agoThere is no choice to be made. Once too many disks fail the entire array has to be taken offline and that's exactly what happens.
- labawi 7y agoDisks "failing" is the problem. If you treat drive state as binary (flawless / eject), you can easily eject too many drives for errors on different 0.000001% of data, crashing the array along with the data.
