hi ya danie if you replaced the prev bad disk with a new one..watched for a bit and went home..
and than it was dead when yougot back ... and now its complaining about another disk and now, if you have a 4 drive raid5 setup, you probably s.o.l. hope you have backup before the drive was going bonkers and hint... its probably not the drives... but since you replaced the 1st drive, and used a new one,... the old disk is probably way out of sync from the current raid setup too late now ... c ya alvin -- those dma_intr errors are probably not drive problems.. - just cable problems ( 18" max ) - if its ibm deskstar... its probably the disk - if you changed hdparm options ... ooppss.. - if you changed your kernel ... ooopppss ...
