As to what happened, the most *likely* scenario for any signficant downtime of the Netapp is double disk failure. That is, one disk failed, and during reconstruction they lost another.
I beg to differ.
I just about to write this exact same email. We've had the same experiences with filer failers and quality control.
We're having the same thoughts about the cost when you want non-stop computing. Netapp is great for the 98% uptime market. They aren't ready to play in the 99.99% uptime market, at least in my view.
I used to be a Netapp enthusiast, but no longer. I'd sleep better if our customers' email was moved off of filers.
