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.
They get logged under /logs now:
