Fail event on /dev/md2:schitzo

2008.12.01

looks like a failing drive was the cause for my problems this weekend.  yay warranties.

This is an automatically generated mail message from mdadm running on schitzo

A Fail event had been detected on md device /dev/md2.

It could be related to component device /dev/sda3.

Faithfully yours, etc.

P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:

Personalities : [raid1]
md3 : active raid1 sda4[2](F) sdb4[1]
70211968 blocks [2/1] [_U]

md2 : active raid1 sda3[2](F) sdb3[1]
3903680 blocks [2/1] [_U]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
128448 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
3903680 blocks [2/2] [UU]

advance rma policies are nice.  5 year warranties are nicer.
