> "Throw it away and restore from backup" is not a good answer. Honestly, when you think about the life cycle of many storage systems, it is pretty reasonable. Once the drives get to a certain age, you tend to have to replace them anyway, and after the array is beyond a certain age, you want to replace the whole thing. It makes a certain sick sense to expect a lot of enterprise customers to have a strategy for fail over to a new storage pool.
