It'll never be time to go with the D word. The D people don't make
servers, they only claim to.
Who's the I word though?

Subject: RE: kinda OT - RAID on the exchange server


Back in 1998 we used Ed Crowley's employer's line of servers and they
were
not that good. We switched to their major competitor. But now it's not a
competitor anymore since they became the same company. But I still like
servers that start with C better than those that start with H. But I
think
Ed is also from the C side, right?

Drop your hardware vendor.  Been running my databases on RAID5's on Ed
Crowley's employer's fine line of servers and NEVER EVER had an issue.

I apologise for the OT question...

Has anyone experienced issues with bad striping on a RAID5e disk array?
(hardware RAID)

I have had this twice in the last 6 months. When a disk dies in the
array it
is replaced ASAP. RAID5e should be able to handle this without error
right?

When the RAID5e striping has errors, it registers sectors on the logical
disk as bad and causes disk I/O errors - which screws (eventually
corrupts)
the exchange information store(s) on the logical drive and prevents
backups
from completing.

hhhmmm ... perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why RAID5e couldn't
handle
the occassional defunct drive without screwing the rest of the array in
the
process of rebuilding itself...

The hardware vendor has recommended re-creating the RAID array from
scratch
and restoring from backup....

Any thoughts?

sorry again for the OT question - but I'll even throw in a Friday
afternoon
Haiku for good measure:

Friday afternoon
gotta get going home 
server is cactus

Thanks,
MP
