One of the SCSI drives in web6 stopped working today, after a very brief ~ 5 months of service. We have a replacement drive being overnighted and we will be hot swapping the drives out tomorrow.

During the rebuild process you may notice some increased load on the server while the RAID controller remirrors the new drive. I anticipate the rebuild to take about 6 - 8 hours depending on how much traffic the server is pushing.

I will post an update once the new drive has been swapped in. As the drives are hot swappable we do not anticipate any downtime.

The replacement drive has been installed and is currently rebuilding the mirrored array. I'm estimating about 8 hours before rebuidling process is complete.

The rebuild finished about 30 minutes ago. Everything is back to 100% on web6.
