I've also seen issues with failing drives not flagging because of a buggy firmware version on the raid controller or drive at least a few times on Dell servers around that vintage. On Mar 13, 2014 12:19 AM, "Doug McIntyre" <merlyn@iphouse.net> wrote:
We've noticed this being unresponsive several times this evening.
I'm into the machine, but it is behaving badly, and from past experience, (and not direct evidence since it is remote and I can't get the relavent logs), it feels like a hard drive failing on this system.
Ie. it may run some of its process out of memory for some functions, but other functions are probably locking up and not behaving correctly. Even RAIDed as it is.
Probably the best course of action is to bring out a fresh drive to it and swap whatever drive is failing and let the mirror rebuild. I think we've got some of the 80GB WD800AAJS that is part of the mirror on the other route reflector around somewhere...
