Don't UREs destroy the array?
UREs are never a risk to a healthy array. Only to a degraded one.
Right.

@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
So it looks like a drive had 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.
-
Yeah, that's scary!

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.

'Murica!

@MattSpeller Bald eagles are delish!!!!
-
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.

-
Look, if I could find a refrigerated butterball bald eagle for T-giving, I'd be brining it and throwing it on the smoker! It's the 'endangered' status that makes it so tasty!
-
@RojoLoco Technically they aren't "endangered" anymore.
-
@brianlittlejohn so can I harvest one? I bet I'd get the Guantanamo special treatment if I did that....
-
@RojoLoco In the US they are still protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

So I just noticed Dice.com removes email addresses from job postings and replaces it with a "Click here to apply" link that opens the application form through dice.

This would be find if I hadn't had problems in the past with the application actually getting to the people.
-
@johnhooks no, it would still be shady and crooked. The folks who listed any given job there didn't put a hyperlink to Dice's application, they put in their own email.
-
@RojoLoco Agreed. It makes me wonder why Dice is collecting that information.
-
@dafyre money. The answer is always money. Shouldn't be that hard to sell a list of personal info to a cybercrook.
