If your drives are failing more often before their MTBF time than after, I would say you should be talking to your vendor. There are a lot of components in a SCSI RAID subsystem (the controller, the backplane, the drives, and the software that runs on them all) -- it's a sticky puzzle to debug, no question. Like I said before, there's no silver bullet -- you just need to have multiple levels of redundancy and plans in place when those redundancies fail. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
