benkay: no no, let me charge you, for it.
pankkake: I don't know what you are doing with the raids, but scrubing the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce those kind of occurences
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's checked daily.
mircea_popescu: it most recently passed this morning.
pankkake: weird
pankkake: my regular checks allowed me to replace drives before they fail, so just saying
thestringpuller: is mpex.co still down?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes
jurov: pankkake: regardless of checks, ever had half of the drives fail aat once?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have not previously installed cameras on the machine cabinet, now might be a good time.
pankkake: and WD was nice enough to exchange my last drive even though my evidence was thin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and some cameras on the cameras box ?
thestringpuller: is trading down?
pankkake: jurov: anything's possible, I came close once but no
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller look a little up just added a report.
pankkake: the thing is, "once" is actually a long time, the time you can change the drive and rebuild
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't imagine it would cost much to have 'biorobots' monitor the cams in shifts.
mircea_popescu: pankkake this shit's supposed to take hotswapping for that matter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it won't cost much, then it won't cost much to have them... not monitor the cameras, for five minutes.
pankkake: I mean the time to obtain a hard drive if you don't have a spare (and the time to rebuild)
mircea_popescu: pankkake there were two spares ready to go, and the rebuild is seamless, no downtime.
mircea_popescu: (this actually happened a number of times, most recently about 3 days ago. i even said so, at the time)
pankkake: while you're rebuilding, you are in a vulnerable state. hence the "fail half at once" has a higher chance to occur than you would think
mircea_popescu: it took half an hour and was complete long before yesterday.
