Hi Guys,
I have reason to believe that the RAID software in a Qube3 (running OS 6.4)
gets the disks confused when it reports a disk failure.
One of my Qube3s reported disk A failed ... I replaced it ... it failed
again within 24 hours ... very strange.
This morning (about a week after the first incident) I received and
installed yet another new disk in slot A ... it came up ... mirrored the
disk ... all looked good until I started checking some data and email ... I
have lost over a week of data!
The Qube reported Disk A failed ... I'm betting its Disk B which has failed
and hence when I replaced Disk A again this morning I removed the active
disk and the "dead" disk mirrored onto the new disk.
If I'm correct, this is a HUGE bug!
Sorry I can't cut and paste the actual "Active Monitor" message ... it
appears to be on the disk which is NOT currently in the Qube3.
Cheers, Malcolm
