on this topic of disk quality, I did not have any feedback on my comments made to the mailing listing about the fact that once 3.3 NetAppCache code was introduced disk errors in messages logs seemed to disappear in a puff of smoke. Maybe the NetApp Disks(dont know what vendor) are not that good after all because at the present moment I dont know if a disk is slowly failing.
A failing disk is worse really that a completely failed disk because most likely that not you will scsi reset errors and slow response time from the disks.
Is anyone at NetApp listening ?? Where do these logs now go ??
