All,

 

I have a network of FBSD boxen running 5.3 w/ 2x PATA WD1200JB Drives and a
Promise Fastrack TX2 controller in mirror. The systems mainly just pass
internet traffic and rarely ever touch the disks. After running for a few
weeks -> months.the disks become corrupted forcing a manual fsck from single
user mode. And since the system is thousands of miles away, it can become
painful to walk someone with a language barrier thru that.

 

Question is WHY does this occur?

How can you avoid this? 

What can you do to remotely fix the issue? 

Any proactive maintenance I need to be doing?

Did I mention I would like to know WHY?

 

-Cheers!
