Re: raid failure question

Voltage spikes, disks heating (monitored by smartd) & sector
corruption (monitored by smartd) are what I can think of for the time
being.

Hello,

Excluding the obvious multi-disk or bus failures, can anyone describe
what type of disk failure a raid cannot detect/recover from?

I have had two disk failures over the last three months, and in spite of
having a hot spare, manual intervention was required each time to make
the raid usable again.  I'm just not sure if I'm not setting something
up right, or if there is some other issue.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
