Seti news!
October 18, 2000
A few hours later... it went much better than expected. The drives were not actually dead but for some reason were marked as dead by the RAID controller. Two of the drives were a mirrored pair and thus that whole logical device was offline, bringing down the database. We were able to initiate a rebuild of the two "dead" drives, bringing them back online. There does not seem, at this point, to be any data corruption.
The science database experienced what may be multiple disk failures. We are attempting a "quick" (~2-4 hour) rebuild. Stay tuned.
