    Areca 1260 RAID6 nightmare - signature and erasure coding

    I was pretty careful about this part. The hot spare used to be a RAID member, so my best guess is that it thought the hot spare with multi-year-old data was live, and used it to re-stripe another disk. But it could also be sun spots, who knows? In any case, I grabbed 4 random disks and...

    Areca 1260 RAID6 nightmare - signature and erasure coding

    While moving my 6 disk RAID6 set from one machine to another, something went terribly wrong. It looks like the controller activated the hot spare and then rebuilt the array again thinking that the old failed drive was another hot spare. The bottom line: the device shows up and I can mount it...
