I am ahaving a SEVERE problem with my RAID array. I am running a

the disk
utility to check the status of the raid I receive the following
errors:
-Volume check failed
-Error: the underlying task reported failure -9972
- Keys out of order
- the volume cannot be repaired.
The only way I have been able to resolve this is to erase what
little data
is on the volume and run the utility again. It works fine for a few
days and
goes back to the original errors.
Has anyone experieced this and may be able to assist me?
A couple of bits of information that might help folks to assist you.
1. Is this a brand new XServer RAID, if not how old is it?
2. How have you got the RAID configured?
3. Have you replaced any of the drives in any of the sleds with
drives you purchased yourself?
4. Do you ever get any Yellow Lights on any of the drives (indicating
that the S.M.A.R.T. technology in the drive has detected any sort of
problem)?
