[tech] Fwd: Fail event on /dev/md1:mylah

[David Adam]

Hooray, we dropped another disk on Mylah, and the RAID is now one disk 
away from world domination^W^Wtotal failure. (This RAID group hosts 
Mylah's /space, including /services and /away.)

I'll back up the RAID to the SAN, but we really need to replace those 
failed drives or ditch the array. Mitch was looking at new drives on 2nd 
Feb, haven't heard anything since - perhaps we could fail over to the SAN 
in the interim.

A Fail event had been detected on md device /dev/md1.

It could be related to component device /dev/sdg1.

Faithfully yours, etc.

P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:
