Good Day Gents,
I'm currently running a 2x Raid 5 on 8 1.5tb drives on an Areca 1231ml in a 4220 running openfiler. Last night, continuous beeping from the Raid Card woke me up, and lo and behold, RaidSet 000 Degraded. Rebooted system, and saw IDE Device 1 Failed. Powered off, removed the drive in question, and for the heck of it, tested the drive using Seatools Long Test on another system. Weird thing is, the HDD passed the test, no errors on both DST, short and long test. Then I tested it on HD tune Pro's Error Scan - No errors. Now, is it safe to say that I can zero-out this drive rebuild my raid set using this same drive? Or just buy a brand new one, then rebuild? If the raid rebuild fails on the same failed drive, will the raid array be hosed? Kinda frustrating that I can't isolate the actual cause of the error (HDD, backplane, RaidCard)..
Btw my setup has been running for > 1 year, no probs. Drives are those seagate 7200.11 that everyone hates, but on the new CC1H firmware.
