GD FKING old SCSI-2 HDDs! GD OS corruption!
Un-facking-believable. 3 HDs went in 2 hours... on the same machine. I've heard of similar lifespans, but THAT's ridiculous!
Now I get to re-install everything... what a pain in the ass.
At least it's only ePO and a few (well 16) print queues.
I know this means nothing to 99% of you, but I needed to vent.
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"
33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.
Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT
COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

you sure they went all at once?
I've heard of RAID faults going undetected until the number of drives dropped below the mirror data requirements, but I've never heard of three drives failing all at once.

We came in this morning, one of the two drives making up a 9GB mirror for the system volume was dead. That's fine, we found an older but serviceable 9GB identical drive on a shelf in one of our IT workrooms. We installed it, the server started rebuilding the mirror as expected. In the process of rebuilding the mirror, another drive (1 of 4 18GB drives constituting a ~50GB RAID-5) died... on the same server. Since we were flat out of drives by then, we ordered 3 18GB drives off the west coast. We were going to have to ignore the RAID-5 running in a reduced-performance mode when we realized something was screwed. We couldn't logon to or RDP into the affected box. It was sitting happily at the logon screen, but it kept saying the winlogon exec was corrupted.
Further investigation revealed the entire mirror was trashed, data integrity-wise. It was a shell running Windows quite brokenly. I recovered what we immediately needed off the RAID-5 and shut it down, till the new drives come in and we can discern what to do with it. Given its age, we might just toss it completely.
I've already got EPO reinstalled on a newer box, just updating the virus DATs now. I love McAfee stuff, it's so easy and quick to install and configure.
