Xserve RAID issue: Undetected Drive Failure.



Hello all-

Xserve RAID owners might want to watch out for this issue:

FWIW, I have an Xserve RAID that was reported by RAID Admin to be fine, but noticed that the performance was quite poor. I soon discovered that the activity light of the 4th drive of a 7 drive RAID set would flash in unison with the other drives during READ operations, but remained steady during WRITE operations. AppleCare Premium Support suggested that the drive be replaced, but otherwise seemed unimpressed with the undetected failure. I wasn't impressed by their lack of concern. There are either conditions beyond detection or a failure in the detector.

Nevertheless, the drive has been replaced and rebuilt and I am going to verify the parity tonight...

-Scott
