Lost 150GB of Data on RAID 5...ugh
Well...the worst has happened...I lost 2 SCSI drives in a RAID 5 setup. I have 7 50GB SCSI drives setup in RAID 5 and at first one failed. I tried doing a rebuild, but that failed, so I tried doing the rebuild again and a second drive failed. I am not sure if there is something wrong with the drives physically or what...but I just lost over 150GB of data.
I wanted to know if anyone else has ever had 2 drives fail like this and what might be a good way to prevent this in the future. Should I scrap the SCSI RAID 5 and got with cheaper IDEs? I tried rebooting and nothing... I am so ******ed right now. Any help would be great.
