Depends on the speed of the drives, how big they are, and how much data has to be rebuilt. Not very helpful, I know, but it could be hours, hours, and more hours.

Knightmare just told me after he attempted to go to the Einstein@Home home page. LOL This is definitely not good! (...and that's an understatement.) I went there and found the same thing that you have posted here. So; until they replace the defective drives and have the system rebuild the Mirror-Array, they are down... As Labbie said, this could take hours upon hours... LOL 8-( Es, can you please delete my "Closed - Due to a Similar..." Thread. It is attracting unwanted and unnecessary attention. Thanks again, Es.

Anyone have any idea how long this sort of thing takes to fix? Depends on the speed of the drives, how big they are, and how much data has to be rebuilt. Not very helpful, I know, but it could be hours, hours, and more hours. Also depends on whether they make the hard drives any more. For some servers you can only get second hand drives which can cost an arm and a leg and can take time to find. Account frozen... ID: 475947 ·
