Anyone know when the server might be back up?

drive array is busted he will need a new array not just the one or two disks and then it has to be copied over
days , most likely 3-5 | ||

I really think its amazing that two separate entire drive arrays on two separate boxes broke at the same time. That's some really ineradicable odds.

If boxes were hosted on rented hardware, would have been fixed in minutes. A complete failure would have been avoided. It takes 3 drives to go bad in a raid 5, before things start getting ugly. The people hosting the hardware would have thrown drives in it. These are Basement Dweller Servers though. Lets not deceive ourselves. | ||||

Two drivers in a raid 5 will bring it down, not three. Which is why you always replace a failed hard drive asap. | |||

The odds are pretty astronomical on two separate servers that both would degrade to a critical level where a failure would mean data loss and they'd need to both be brought down and fixed for integrity. Unless they were already failing like you stated. But both already failing is really bad from a sys admin perspective. Shit needs fixed when it goes bad. If things were setup right there'd be a drive in a box ready to get slid into a tray and hot plugged right on. Days is a dumbass estimate unless u have to build an entirely new array and wait on hardware. Even rebuilding an array from one working drive doesn't take very long. Its pretty much text file edit and hardware swapping. If the OS and raidsetup is already done. You just set the working drive to be the master and plug it into the new array and bamb. Nothing special needs be done. | |||
