          @StrongBad 2x 300gb 15k RAID1, 3x 1TB RAID5

          one of the raid5 drives died, seems to have thrown an error at the controller that it didn't like at all

            Would that be a URE?

                Don't UREs destroy the array?

                  UREs are never a risk to a healthy array. Only to a degraded one.

                    Right.

                    So it looks like a drive had died.

                      Sounds to me like a drive died.

                        Aye, got it fixed a couple hours ago by taking it all apart. I mean the whole server. Cleaned it all, made sure all the contacts were good and reassembled. Magic RAID pixies were happy and the thing posted and booted like there was nothing wrong (except the failed drive, but who cares, that is why you have RAID)

                          I can't explain for sure why that worked and my trust of this server has gone from 75% to zero.

                          I did read online that this fixed someone else's and I suspect it has more to do with the power being off. Quite possibly a charge built up on a floating pin somewhere, though you'd think that Dell would know better. End of the day though when your whole server is basically F'd you have nothing to lose by trying.

                              G[moderated]n rights it is, we have 5 of this model all with nearly identical configs.

                              R510 if you wondered.

                                I rebooted one of my servers last week and my raid card stop seeing my drives. I ended up powering it completely off for 15 mins then turning it back on and all was working well. What was annoying was the iDrac was frozen up as well... i had to go reset it too.

                                  Canadian servers know that there is a holiday long weekend looming in the US, and they are super jelly. They start throwing up errors to get attention. Adjust your repair tactics accordingly.

                                    Beat all the servers to death with roasted bald eagles. Roger that.

                                          Delirious giggle fit and drooling over the thought of roasted eagle has lead me to believe I need to eat something and probably go home soon after.
