Lola

Lola is expressing how I feel today.

In the grand tradition of everything breaking at the same time, the RAID failed in one of our servers at work, taking the server down. The problem is that the RAID utility shows all three drives are good, which, if it’s not lying, would indicate a possible failure in the RAID card, because it normally takes two drives to go bad at the same time to take down a RAID 5; however, the system profiler is saying the RAID card is good, which, if it’s not lying, would indicate at least two drives have gone bad at the same time, which is really rare. The other possibility is the drives got out of sync and the RAID card can’t re-sync the drives. All of this makes trouble shooting very difficult and frustrating; Currently, there is no quick or easy fix; therefore I have my ears back like Lola.
