Hi everyone,
Today's my "ghost in the machine" day.
First one of the drives in my four-disk RAID5 fails. So far the three are
okay so I'm surviving. I'm using a 3ware Escalade 6400 controller with:
o Montior version ME6X 1.01.00.028
o Firmware version FE6X 1.02.03.053
o BIOS version BE6X 1.07.01.015
AFAIK this doesn't have that RAID5 degraded problem. I'm using Linux
kernel 2.4.7 with XFS. I got the following error:
Someone else on the list could produce corruption when the power of the
drive went and you had a raid5 volume. Although that was a 6800. I don't
know if the person is lurking around on the list.
Below is his mail.

FWIW, I got really good at reliably corrupting my data with the 3ware 6800
card and RAID5: just turn off a drive while it was writing. Bad things
happened. I've been testing 3 7810 cards they lent to me a couple weeks
ago, and I haven't had a problem yet (after ~10TB write/reads and ~12
simulated drive failures under a variety of high and low I/O and CPU duty
cycles.
Cheers,
Dan

corrupt inode 21967679 (btree). Unmount and run xfs_repair.
You can see a oops comming when your file system shutsdown ;)
It's the middle of the day and everyone's working but I told them all to
shut down. I'm sending this message then I'm unmounting and running
xfs_repair. I've got my fingers crossed. I hope nothing will mess up. I
hope to be able to get back to the list about this after.
Good Luck!

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
