During a drive upgrade a brand new WD29EFRX 2TB drive containing my RW volumes crashed.
After talking to drive recovery firms I've learned that the new reliability philosophy is cheap drives & rely on the users RAID for recovery, Fortunately I have 4 RO backups, One repair firm said they see new drives with incredible amounts of dirt inside. Here is a drive reliability report. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/228497-backblaze-releases-billion-hour-hard-drive-reliability-report Looks like solid state drives + thumb drives for off site storage is the way ti go. tedc _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
