Yesterday, a hard drive failed. Freebsd crashed with write errors on screen. I rebooted and removed the hard drive marked as dead in the raid controller. Freebsd booted up no problem, but I lost a couple of tables in some databases in mysql. Is there anything I forgot/did wrong to get into this problem ? or is it just that these controllers are so crappy that explain the corruption ? I more used to scsi hardware raid controllers in freebsd and never had a data corruption problem before even when disk died or because we hot-removed them. Any idea ?
