I just had a RAID 1 drive fail and lock the system - after rebuilding it was
full of corrupted files. Every other time it's happened it just been a matter
of shuting down the system and rebuilding the drive - with a good RAID
controller and a hot spare even this wouldn't be needed.
Moral of the story: No matter how good your RAID is, make regular backups.
