After one or two months I am experiencing a very strange arrays degradations. The card beeps, detects a disk failure and starts rebuilding the array, but there is no evidence of this on /var/log/messages neither /var/log/warn and hard drives seems to be O.K. You may simply have a poor connection on one of the SATA cables/connectors - that's unfortunately very common. You won't see anything in your logs because the card handles this on it's own. The OS doesn't even know there is more than one disc or raid involved.
I was wondering if there is any utility to check the status of the arrays under SuSE 10.0 and what are your experiences with this controller (if any). I don't know what can be happening (why arrays became degraded and why SuSE does not log anything). As far as I remember there is software on the CD included (yes, for linux too! :-).
uses Java and my system is console based. Java doesn't neccessarily imply a graphical package. I have used several java programs on a SLES server that has no X installed.
