The reason that I am talking about this is because of the problems at matrix.org. Their RAID system failed, I do not know why or what RAID system they have. This should never happen - but one thing that I have learned with computers is that when someone says that something can never happen: I take that to mean that it only happens rarely.
One point is that you have to be actively monitoring for any drive failures. Otherwise after one fails the server will still be working and will just be sitting in a rack in a DC with a flashing red light that no one will notice until another drive fails and service is lost. Regards, Geoff
