Well guess what happend to me the day before yesterday?

Exactly... my server ( ok its a desktop ) had an increased load all of a sudden. Rebooting it showed the magical message:
"Something is wrong with your hard drive array".

Hurray !! An error message that means business and is clear at the same time how to fix the problem .... right ...

Going into the RAID set config it appeared there was some sort of error with one of my ( recently bought ) harddisks ..

After some alternations of settings I opened up the case and gues what? It turned out the SATA powercable didn't make a decent connection since it was dislodged for like 2 mm's from its normal position..

Putting the darn thing back where it was supposed to be and all was well Smile
