Hello all, Lost a drive in my box last night - woke up to it locked completely solid. So I reset the machine, it started to come back up and remirror the drives. I set about trying to figure out why it locked (the terminal had blanked overnight of course, and wouldn't unblank so I missed the probable standard failure messages). Then the box locked hard again, right as I heard one of my IDE drives make some terrible noises. So I rebooted, and ran the manufacturer's disk test, sure enough it's headed south. Once I've got a replacement drive, will I be able to get the data on my raid partition back? I don't think I've ever had a failure happen on a RAID1 array during resync. Once on RAID5, and that was a disaster.... Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com
