We had two hot spares and a spare drive on the shelf. This, along with the fact that the array was RAID 10, means that we shouldn't have lost any data, but the re-sync process took extra time to do deal with these lost drives. Why did we lose so many drives? These are old storage arrays donated to us a while ago, and the disks came with heavy wear and tear. We already had several other disks fail in this system so this is no big surprise. Once everything is re-synced (in about 20 minutes from the time of writing) we'll start up the master database, check its tables (which may take as long as 24 hours), do some other hardware testing, and if all is well start up the assimilators/splitters again. If not, we might be out for an extra day as we continue to clean up. Copyright Ã‚Â© 2006 University of California http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/tech_news.php nobody BOINC Wiki . . .

We already had several other disks fail in this system so this is no big surprise That's rough. If you are going to donate equipment, do not give us your junk. I hope admin blacklist's whoever donated that. I have seen this type of "donation" at the academic level as well. The company usually wants to claim the full original value of their antiquated equipment for tax purposes.
