Re: RAID Array ?

This server has a five disk RAID 5 array of 73GB drives. What concerns me is why one drive failed. The drive rebuilt fine and the array is ok now, but will that gremlin pop up again? Unfortunately, I don't have a real spare, so I probably should get one and take some time when we do the migration to run some disk checks.

Fault tolerance is a misnomer of sorts. Without having completely redundant systems it's not possible. RAID 6 does sound interesting.
